In the past month I lead the effort to migrate three major projects from Express/Node.js to Next.js. Why Next.js and not Svelte, Gatsby, Hugo or another Jamstack and…why move from Node.JS to Jamstack ? Starting from the last question Express/Node.js with

I have now finished migrated a website developed in Nodejs/Express/MySQL to sveltekit so I thought it would be a good moment to pen down some of my experiences. If you are a bit like me you can be confused by Sapper/Svelte/Sveltekit. What are the differe
