Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Next.js allows for rapid web development server-side rendered pages React, typescript, and MDX encoded pages with an incredibly simple API setup. More than anything, Next.js has the absolute best dev-pipeline experience enabled via Vercel. Vercel, the parent company behind Next.js, allows for blazing fast deploy times, that make life an absolute breeze for solo developers and teams alike.
Pros and Cons
  • Serverless API integration
  • MDX (Markdown) Support
  • Ease of Deployment via Vercel
  • SSR React Pages
  • Window sizing makes handling SSR pages odd, at times
  • React can be easier to statically deploy
  • Somewhat of a learning curve
Likelihood to Recommend
I love using Next.js — it's my go-to framework for new personal projects and work projects. The local development environment is quick, easy, and fun to use. The framework it uses, which puts an API that runs node in your pages subdirectory, is absolutely genius. No more middleware! It's good for quick projects and big projects alike. I wouldn't use Next.js if I did not want to heavily rely on serverless tech.
Most Important Features
  • Dev Environment
  • API + No Middleware Setup
  • Typescript Support out of the box
  • Thriving Dev Community
Return on Investment
  • It's free!
  • It saves me a lot of time when writing serverless code
  • Deployment, via Vercel, is fast, quick, and easy to debug
Alternatives Considered
Next.js takes the best parts of React and applies them to a full-stack dev environment. With a built-in serverless API, it's easy to boot up a web application in under an hour. With easy integration with tools like Firebase, Supabase, Stripe, and countless others, Next.js is a perfect tool for getting your idea out into the real world.
