Vike is a Vite-based meta-framework for building server-side rendered (SSR), statically generated (SSG), or SPA web applications with React, Vue, or Solid. It positions itself as a Next.js/Nuxt alternative that offers more control and development freedom over rendering and routing.

Use cases

• add server-side rendering to an existing Vite app
• build a full-stack React app without Next.js
• statically generate a marketing site with Vue
• build a mission-critical SSR application with full control over rendering
• create a hybrid SSR/SPA/SSG site with per-page rendering modes
• scaffold a new Vite-based full-stack project

When to choose

• you want Next.js/Nuxt-like capabilities but with more flexibility and fewer framework constraints
• your project already uses Vite and you want to add SSR or SSG
• you need per-page control over rendering strategy (SSR vs SPA vs pre-rendering)
• you want framework-agnostic support across React, Vue, and Solid

When to avoid

• you want a batteries-included framework with opinionated conventions and a large ecosystem like Next.js
• you prefer minimal configuration and don't need fine-grained rendering control
• your team relies on Next.js-specific features like built-in image optimization or Vercel integrations
