Summary

Hey devs! We are super excited to share with you our latest build plugin in the Netlify ecosystem, to make it even easier to deploy Next.js apps onto Netlify! You may be familiar with our project next-on-netlify, a utility for enabling server-side rendering (and other functionality) in Next.js on Netlify. It wraps your application in a tiny compatibility layer, so that pages can use Netlify Functions to be server-side rendered. With this new build plugin, you can use the features of Next.js that you know and love without any code changes on your end, including server-side rendering, Incremental Static Regeneration compatibility, Preview Mode, and more! You can install it from the Netlify UI via the Plugins directory or in your netlify.toml file. The plugin works under the hood by using the next-on-netlify package to copy files and use Netlify Functions for server-side rendering and other features. We also have resources available for learning Next.js, including a Mission on Jamstack Explorers and blog posts on deploying Next.js sites to Netlify and more.
