# Sunsetting Create React App – React

**[React](https://daily.dev/sources/react)** · 11 min read · 5 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Create React App is being deprecated for new apps, and developers are encouraged to migrate existing apps to a framework. While Create React App provided a simple solution for getting started with React, it faces limitations when building high-performance production apps. Frameworks like Next.js, React Router, and Expo are recommended as they integrate essential features like routing, data fetching, and code splitting, which are necessary for production apps. Documentation is available for migrating to these frameworks and for setting up custom solutions using tools like Vite or Parcel.
