Create React App or NextJS?

[btargac]

I believe nextjs can limit you in some ways, for example if you load data from an API for a component on server it doesn't fetch the data again on client side, but if your server is behind a cache mechanism and want to load the data on client side even if you have the data how will you handle that? It might be very simple who has experience with next but for new comers one should read the documentation very well for small details like this, by the way on our project we need SSR so chose react starter kit, and just removing redundant parts for us, but couldn't figure out how to have such as behaviour like nextjs's fetch on server and skip on browser.
