Algolia has improved their development cycle by adopting Next.js on Vercel, cutting their build times in half and making it easier for teams to collaborate. The company's technical team found Next.js easy to implement and maintain, with built-in features like Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) and analytics that made it seamless to set up performant sites. With the migration, Algolia can now show instant website changes without waiting for daily deployments, and their engineers are looking forward to continuing to improve site performance with Next.js 12 features.
