Next.js

Why Next.js?

Next.js is a full-stack web framework built on top of the React ecosystem, developed by Vercel. It combines static site generation (SSG), server-side rendering (SSR), and client-side rendering under one roof, making it the industry leader in balancing performance and developer experience.

The main reasons we choose Next.js at Detartech: file-based routing and nested layout support with App Router, server-side data fetching and caching with React Server Components, geographically distributed low-latency APIs with Edge Runtime, and built-in image optimization with Core Web Vitals improvements.

Features We Use

We adopt the App Router architecture in our projects. This lets us declaratively manage layout hierarchies, error boundaries, and loading states. With Server Actions, form operations and mutations run directly on the server without building a separate API layer. Parallel and Intercepted Routes make modal-based UI flows straightforward to implement.

For SEO-critical projects, we use the generateMetadata API for dynamic per-page meta management, and sitemap.ts and robots.ts for automated crawler optimization. The unstable_cache and revalidateTag combination gives us granular control over data caching strategies.
