Which use-cases are you guys covering with this framework?

09/24/2021, 4:18 PMWe've been pretty happy with NextJS -- their patterns lend themselves well to ecommerce websites that need a mix of static serving content that changes infrequently (collections / products) with that of dynamic client side experiences (think account login / order history)

09/24/2021, 4:37 PMVery much so, ISR is a very neat feature that gives us easy flexibility when marking some pages as static (regen every x minutes) vs those that are dynamic

09/26/2021, 7:19 PMWhat I find interesting about NextJS is built-in pre-rendering of CSR pages + SSG pages, with one stone. That's cool for SEO. And with SST, you can deploy that and have no lambda actually run.
Eventually, I'm curious to see what NextJs does with Server Components.
