Next.js for Production-Ready Apps
Use Next.js to handle routing, data fetching, and performance so you can focus on building real features.
Next.js is a React framework designed for production. It adds file-based routing, server rendering, static generation, API routes, and powerful data-fetching patterns on top of React. With Next.js you can choose how each page is rendered: static at build time, server-side on every request, or as a client-side React component. This flexibility helps with SEO, performance, and user experience. You should use Next.js when building serious web applications: SaaS products, dashboards, blogs, documentation sites, and marketing pages — especially when SEO and performance matter. Example patterns: - Create pages simply by adding files under app/ or pages/ - Fetch data on the server to keep secrets secure - Use dynamic routes for resources like /blogs/[slug] or /projects/[id] Next.js works extremely well with TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Prisma, and MongoDB, forming a modern full-stack setup that is popular in many companies today.
