As the React ecosystem matures, metaframeworks like Next.js, Remix, and Astro are leading the charge in enhancing performance, simplifying development, and expanding capabilities. This talk will explore how these metaframeworks build upon React to deliver more scalable, efficient, and powerful web applications, making them essential tools for modern developers.

Astro features a JSX-like syntax and seamlessly integrates with React. It enables you to define pages using Markdown and customize how Markdown is rendered. This talk will cover a quick comparison of Astro and React syntax, using Astro with React, rendering pages from Markdown, and customizing Markdown with Remark.

idealo, Europe's largest price comparison site, faced challenges with a complex Java codebase and slow deployments due to contributions from multiple teams. In late 2023, a PoC team modernized the frontend with React and implemented Micro Frontends to give teams ownership of their components. We chose Astro for its speed, cost-effectiveness, and decentralized development capabilities, and have now created a functional micro-frontend template that many teams are using across the company.
This talk is about the technical solution of how we chose a framework that would meet all of our needs. Our requirements: Faster or similar response times; Acceptable costs; Allows decentralized development.

Next.JS has long been the favored framework for React enthusiasts, but with the recent Next V13 update, things have taken an intriguing turn. The new version has introduced some highly anticipated features that have left developers with mixed feelings. The challenges arise from React's extensive history predating Next.JS, making it difficult to seamlessly integrate new functionalities like the 'Servicer Action' and others. However, Next.JS stands out as one of the first frameworks to tackle the server/client territory within a single code block. This innovative approach is still in its early stages and promises to shape the future of frameworks to come. To delve deeper into this exciting topic, make sure to attend our event.
