Introduction to Next.js

What is Next.js?

Next.js is a popular open-source framework built on top of React, designed for building server-side rendering and static web applications. It offers a range of features such as automatic code splitting, optimized prefetching, and an easy-to-use API, making it a great choice for developers looking to enhance their React applications with better performance and more functionalities.

Next.js vs React

While React is a library for building user interfaces, Next.js is a framework that provides a structure for how to build your application. Next.js extends React by offering a standard way to structure your project, server-side rendering, static site generation, and many other features that are not included out of the box in React.

Supabase + Next.js

Integrating Supabase with Next.js is a powerful combination for developers. Supabase is an open-source Firebase alternative that provides database, authentication, and storage solutions. When used with Next.js, it allows for the creation of full-stack applications that are scalable, have real-time capabilities, and come with built-in user authentication.
