# Building Modern Web Apps with Next.js
Next.js has become my go-to framework for building web applications. Here's why.
## Why Next.js?
1. **Server-Side Rendering**: Better performance and SEO
2. **File-based Routing**: Intuitive and simple
3. **API Routes**: Backend and frontend in one place
4. **Image Optimization**: Built-in image optimization
5. **TypeScript Support**: First-class TypeScript support
## My Setup
I typically use:
- Next.js 15
- TypeScript
- Tailwind CSS
- Prisma for database
- Vercel for deployment
## Conclusion
Next.js makes it easy to build fast, scalable applications. Give it a try!
