Then I found React Router v7 (Framework mode) (Remix). This is not that full package of Next.js, but it does the job. Also, it's using Vite behind it.
Anyway, I use an MBA 2020 M1 with 8 GB of memory.
Interesting, I'll definitely look into that

Love this❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!!

Making use of server actions to reduce server side logic also help improve performance in Next.js.
Especially if its a sort of large production codebase, I use this currently
