New ask Hacker News story: Next.js or Gatsby – for the end user and SEO

Next.js or Gatsby – for the end user and SEO

Hey everyone....so on one hand developers love build speed. But once deployed, it's really about the end user right, and how easy it is for them to discover the content. Does Gatsby offer SEO value. I'm trying to research but seem to arrive at the same place each time. We have initially decided to use Next.js for our shift from Wordpress to our own server rendered sites (also moving from Vercel to AWS this week for security reasons). But Gatsby keeps popping up. Sure Next.js is good for routing, and again favours developers. But is the web built for development ease or user happiness / interaction and discoverability. 90% of people (UX / marketers / investors and non developers would say the latter). Therefore are the wins you get with Next.js when setting up routing, which should be a one time only thing anyway, little benefit when compared to Gatsby and the ease of updating content and the part I still don't get enough info on - does the SSR from Next.js overall help with SEO or can the same be obtained from Gatsby? If I've overlooked anything here - shout out and tell me, I'm by no means right or wrong, but very interested to hear all opinions on the matter.
