Next.js 14: The React Framework for the Web

Next.js 14 introduces powerful features that simplify building full-stack Web applications. From Server Actions to Partial Prerendering, it redefines the developer experience.

key Features

1. Server Actions

Mutate data directly from your components without creating API routes manually.

// app/actions.ts 'use server' export async function createTodo(formData: FormData) { const title = formData.get('title') await prisma.todo.create({ data: { title } }) }

2. Partial Prerendering (PPR)

PPR allows you to combine static and dynamic content in the same route with optimal performance. The shell is static, while dynamic holes are streamed in.

3. Turbopack

The Rust-based bundler is now stable for development, offering up to 53% faster local server startup.

Why Upgrade?

  • Performance: Improved LCP and FID metrics.
  • DX: Less boilerplate code for data mutations.
  • Stability: The App Router is now battle-tested.

Conclusion

Next.js 14 pushes the boundaries of what is possible with React server-side rendering.
