Next.js works everywhere now, Jimmy Lai tells us how.

from PodRocket · host LogRocket

Jimmy Lai, manager of the Next.js team at Vercel, joins the podcast to explain the adapters API, why it exists, how it fixes Next.js self-hosting pain across platforms like Cloudflare, AWS Amplify, and Netlify, and what it unlocks for partial pre-rendering. He also shares where the team is headed: server components, feature flags at request time, and building the best agentic developer experience for a world where agents write most of the code.
