Next.js at the Edge
summary
Declares concrete features: Next.js adds middleware and edge functions on Vercel that run on a V8-based runtime claiming 100x faster startups than Node and “no cold starts,” with middleware rewriting requests to cache personalized pages at the edge (demo: /edge → /edge/jp serves instantly). Rebuilds a Hacker News demo with React Server Components to stream HTML, remove client JS, and enable per-component caching with revalidate semantics; available under an experimental flag in Next.js 12.
