Growth @ ChainguardOur Next.js process
If you choose Lucky, this is what you can expect from working with us.
Strategy
We audit your existing codebase - React, Next.js Pages Router, or legacy SPA - and decide whether to migrate to App Router incrementally or in one go. We map out server component vs client component boundaries upfront.
Architecture
We design the Next.js app structure: App Router layout hierarchy, data fetching strategy (server components, ISR, SWR), headless CMS integration (Statamic, Contentful, Sanity), and Vercel vs self-hosted deployment model.
Velocity
We ship in 2-week sprints using Next.js features that accelerate delivery: built-in image optimization, font loading, and middleware for A/B testing without extra infrastructure.
QA
Automated testing with Vitest and Playwright. Core Web Vitals checks on every PR. We target 90+ Lighthouse scores before any page ships.
Deployment
We deploy to Vercel (preferred for Next.js) or Docker + self-hosted. Zero-downtime deployments via preview branches and production promotions.
Maintenance
Next.js version upgrades - we have migrated clients from Pages Router to App Router - dependency management, and performance monitoring via Vercel Analytics.

Next.js vs other frameworks
Comparison content helps you make an informed decision. Here is how Next.js compares to the frameworks we get asked about most often.
Next.js vs Remix: Both use SSR. Next.js has a larger ecosystem and Vercel support. App Router vs Remix loader model. Next.js is better for content-heavy sites with ISR needs, where pre-rendering and incremental regeneration matter.
Next.js vs Astro: Astro uses islands architecture, less JS by default, and is better for mostly-static content sites. Next.js is better when you need dynamic React components throughout, complex state, or a full application framework.
Next.js vs Nuxt: Nuxt is the Vue equivalent of Next.js, with a mature ecosystem. Next.js has broader US enterprise adoption and a larger talent pool. The right choice depends on your existing team stack, React vs Vue.

Next.js may not be the best choice for: highly interactive real-time applications (consider WebSocket-focused frameworks), simple static sites without dynamic content (consider Astro), or projects requiring different frontend frameworks (Next.js is React-only).
We take a staged migration approach. Next.js allows both routers to coexist in the same project. We prioritize moving high-traffic landing pages to the App Router first to use React Server Components for better performance, while keeping complex legacy dashboard logic in the Pages Router until a full refactor is strategically viable.
We use Dynamic Imports and Route-based Code Splitting to ensure users only download the JavaScript necessary for the page they are viewing. By auditing dependencies and using lightweight alternatives for heavy libraries, we keep your JS execution time low and your Lighthouse scores in the green.
By using Server-Side Rendering (SSR) or Server Components, we can fetch sensitive data securely on the server without ever exposing API keys or internal logic to the client-side browser. We also implement Middleware to handle authentication checks at the Edge, blocking unauthorized requests before they even reach your application code.
We implement Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR). This allows us to pre-render pages statically for speed, but update them in the background as data changes in your CMS, without needing a full site rebuild. Your users get the speed of a static site with the freshness of a dynamic one.
Unlike traditional React apps that can struggle with "Client-Side Rendering" (making it harder for bots to crawl), Next.js delivers fully rendered HTML to search engines. This "SEO-friendly" architecture, combined with next/image for automatic image optimization, directly improves your Core Web Vitals, a key ranking factor for Google.
By using a "Hybrid" approach, we keep the static content fast for initial load and then "hydrate" only the interactive parts (like pricing calculators or filters). This gives your customers a "lightning-fast" experience that feels like a premium app rather than a slow, traditional website.
We use the Next.js Script component to manage third-party scripts efficiently. By loading non-critical marketing pixels with worker or lazyOnload strategies, we ensure your tracking is accurate without letting it "hijack" the main thread and slow down the user’s experience.
We set up Preview Mode integrated with your Headless CMS (like Contentful, Statamic, Prismic, or Sanity). This allows your marketing team to see exactly how a new blog post or landing page will look on the live site in real-time, with a secure "Draft" URL, before hitting the publish button.
While we love Vercel for its DX, Next.js is open-source. We architect our builds so they can be containerized using Docker and hosted on AWS (using OpenNext), Google Cloud, or even self-hosted servers. Your infrastructure remains flexible as your business grows.
We deploy your Next.js application to a Global Edge Network. By using Edge Middleware and regional caching, we serve the "First Byte" from the data center closest to your user, reducing latency to a minimum and ensuring a "simple and easy to use" experience worldwide.
