Performance. SEO.Production at Scale.

Next.js adds SSR, SSG, ISR, the App Router with Server Components, API routes, image optimization, font optimization, and SEO tooling to React. Plain React renders in the browser - search engines see an empty HTML shell. Next.js renders on the server - crawlers receive fully formed HTML with actual content. For any application where SEO or first-load performance matters, Next.js is the right choice.

SSR renders each page on the server for every request - best for personalized or real-time content. SSG renders pages at build time and serves pre-built HTML - best for content that's the same for all users. ISR pre-renders pages statically but revalidates them in the background after a defined interval or webhook trigger - combining static performance with content freshness. Most Next.js applications use all three for different page types.

Yes. CMS integration is a specific Next.js service at Infynno. We design Strapi schemas and API integrations, build Sanity.io GROQ queries and Studio customizations, implement Contentful with ISR, configure on-demand revalidation via CMS webhooks, and implement real-time editorial preview.

Your matched Next.js developer works on a real task from your project for one week - an App Router feature, a CMS integration, a performance optimization. You evaluate code quality, App Router conventions, TypeScript usage, SEO implementation, and communication before any long-term commitment.

Yes. TypeScript is the default for all Next.js development. Typed route parameters, typed Server Component props, typed generateMetadata() return values, typed API route handlers. TypeScript is not optional for our Next.js developers.

Vercel (optimized for Next.js, zero-config), AWS (EC2 + Docker + CloudFront), Google Cloud Run (containerized Next.js), and Cloudflare Pages (edge deployment). Platform choice depends on traffic profile, existing infrastructure, compliance requirements, and cost optimization.
