I used NextJS and Firebase and while I disliked some of it: I would use it again because if the benefits of speed in building.

With this setup you can permanently host for next to nothing until you get users, do zero devops or ops, and have something that will scale up (wont be the fastest thing but it will be OK and will scale)

You could switch out NextJS for a static site generator too, but NextJS is pretty convenient and is a superset of a static site generator with everything wired up nicely using React.

I would not switch out NextJS for a SSG. NextJS can do SSG. But most SSG frameworks can't do SSR nor CSR.

Thank you, 'the next to nothing' bit is very helpful. I'd like to have a decent runway and a decent protection for my wallet just in case the MVP takes off in terms of user growth but not in terms of revenue growth.
