What is Next.js?
Next.js is an open-source framework built on React and maintained by Vercel for creating websites and web applications. A single project can mix statically generated pages, pages rendered on the server for each request (SSR) and pages regenerated in the background (ISR), while server logic such as form handling or calls to external APIs sits alongside the interface. With server or static rendering, search engine crawlers receive ready HTML with content rather than an empty page waiting for a script.
How we use it at Koda Plus
We choose Next.js when a website turns into an application – with sign-in, customer accounts, a data dashboard or integrations with ERP, CRM or a payment gateway. It powers the storefront of a tyre and wheel shop built on Medusa, the website and admin panel for the insulation company Wekert, and the website of a training and coaching firm. We match the rendering strategy to each type of page, because rendering everything dynamically is the most expensive option. The client receives the full code and every access credential, so the project can run on Vercel, on their own server or in a container.

When it makes sense
- The site has customer accounts, a dashboard or live data
- A headless store, e.g. on Medusa.js, needs its own storefront
- A large catalogue needs fresh data and solid SEO at the same time
- ERP, CRM or payment gateway integrations must run server-side
