Next.js

Definition

A React framework that adds server-side rendering, file-based routing, API routes, and production optimisations. The go-to choice for building full-stack web apps with React.

Why it matters

Next.js makes React apps faster (better SEO, server rendering), easier to deploy (Vercel integration), and capable of handling backend logic, all in one framework.

Example

A founder's membership site uses Next.js: the marketing pages are statically rendered for SEO speed, while the dashboard is dynamic and user-specific.
