One of the requirements was to build a final product using React. Having in mind these facts there were two choices: Gatsby and Next.js.

Gatsby was looking pretty nice but I needed framework with a lot of configuration possibilities that isn't forcing developer to anything. This is why I went with Next.js (+ some other smaller libraries). Website the content is fetched from Storyblok.

I really recommend this stack - it's very convinient during development proccess (all configs ready, HMR, Scss) and also very easy to deploy (generate and uplaod files). I was missing some prettier and eslint hints so I added it and finally whole dev stage is really smooth and fast.

Next.js comes with built-in SSR, so all necessary data are being fetched from CMS API only during generating proccess. After deploy there is no single API request executed during website browsing because every page that user can vitit is just static HTML (and I really believe Google Search Engine like it).
