Next.js Gets a First-Class Home on Netlify
Deploying Next.js to Netlify has historically raised a question: Netlify is a static host, but Next.js often needs a Node server for server-side rendering. Netlify's answer is its Functions platform, which can handle that SSR workload. But you don't have to care about the plumbing—a dedicated plugin handles the integration for you.
Netlify has published a five-minute tutorial walking through the setup, and it's reinforcing the message with a free live webinar on next Thursday, March 4th, 2021 at 9am Pacific. The session is aimed at developers who want to watch the process in action and ask questions in real time.
If you miss it, Netlify has been building out a new resources site that archives its growing library of webinars—a move that fits with the company's broader push to make its educational content freely available.
