Next.js on Netlify: Now with support for On-demand Builders and Distributed Persistent Rendering

Today, Netlify is announcing a beta release of its Essential Next.js plugin that introduces support for On-demand Builders in your Next.js site automatically. This feature allows you to build a page on demand once, then serve the cached result to subsequent requests, shortening build times and rendering content on demand without giving up the benefits of the Jamstack. The new feature is part of Netlify's efforts to achieve Distributed Persistent Rendering (DPR), which would allow for faster deployment of large sites while maintaining the simplicity of the Jamstack architecture.
