I noticed one thing. Whatever he teaches he teaches in depth. Internals

So basically what NextJS does is
It'll server side generate all possible HTML files and send it to a CDN
And the CDN will server pre-rendered HTMLs to the client.

And every so often the files in the CDN will be updated with new ones from the node server.

Did I get it right?

By the time one becomes fluent in this process some web assembly framework will come out that makes Next redundant. The complexity of web dev is absurdly comical at this point.

The title is misleading though the video is informative

I recently started following your channel and fall in love with the way you explain the things. It’s damn awesome bro 😎

For someone looking to shift from Vercel to AWS:
AWS Amplify also provides a lot of features like Vercel including CDN via AWS Cloudfront and is serverless while being almost as simple as Vercel

Great content Mehul, we need more insightful videos like this ..really informative . Thanks a lot

[sasikalarao]

Am loving these videos ❤️, please make more of these with backend architectures as well!! Would be really useful

[quiettime]

is NextJs suitable for heavy dynamic web applications, where data will get updated very frequently via websockets and/or Rest Apis? It seems that Next JS is good when the pages aren't really all that dynamic because we can take advantage of the CDN (cached pages)?

Does NextJS work with other backend frameworks? Like Django or Beego (Go)? Or only Node?

[adityadixit]

@codedam, trying to find this answer for long: can you help

JSX to js transpilation by babel happens during build (@ Jenkins or wherever yarn build or similar build command is executed) or at Browser

[cbedroid]

Excellent video Sir, thank you for breaking down the architecture and its use cases!

[DEV_XO]

Damn u are uploading a lot recently! Thats amazing!

[pranab]

Really enjoyed this always wanted to know how nextjs works with V ercel. Would love a more detailed video of the nextjs architecture.

[AlanTomJosetheawesome]

So in case if I am not using a CDN, then is nextJS worse off that react? Because then there will be overhead on the server rand would cause the site to slow down if there's traffic right? Isn't that the whole advantage of react, that it takes the overhead from the server and puts it to the client? It feels like nextJS is doing exactly what react is trying not to. An in my getting it?

[freaxwoz]

This video explain it well. Awesome lesson 2 thumbs up 👍👍❤
