Netlify has released a new runtime for Next.js, which allows developers to transform content at the edge without client-side JavaScript or complicated server-side strategies. The new runtime environment is available on Netlify today and includes a new package `@netlify/next` that extends what's possible with Next.js Middleware. With this release, developers can achieve personalization use cases like localization and authentication with better performance and less effort, and unlock access to modify responses and request headers at the edge. The new runtime environment is perfectly fitted for running Next.js with zero configuration, and includes additional features unique to Netlify's platform such as a GraphQL-powered API mesh and granular release management features.
