Vercel

We are now using Vercel and Next.js in our next version of codingcat.dev. It has taken me a little bit of getting used to the CI/CD flow coming from Amplify and Google Cloud Build for Firebase hosting. Can you tell me more about Deploy Preview?

NextJS

I have seen a lot of movement to NextJS in the Jamstack community in the last year. What do you think is driving this move from Gatsby to Next? – Brittney
What is in store for NextJS in 2021? – Brittney
In browser navigation not working in Firefox and editing in dev tools requires the server to be restarted.
Images must be in the public folder.

CodingCatDev on NextJS

Currently we are running on Firebase as a backend with two separate Next.js sites

Admin – Next.js, React, MaterialUI, backed by Firebase
Main – Next.js, React, Tailwindcss, backed by Firebase

How can we statically build only our important pages, and then rely on regeneration for the rest? Is it as simple as saying build latest 50 pages and let page props do the rest?

Lighthouse vs. Vercel Analytics how to get 100?

I have read what I will call “way” too much about the Next.js chunks and that Lighthouse complaining about them is basically a non-issue, but is this true?

So in looking at the P99 on Vercel we actually get 100, so what gives, what is this actually showing?
