Frontend

OpenNext exists because no one at CloudFlare or SST seem to understand (or want to acknowledge), that Next.js deployed outside of Vercel is a dynamic Node.js app and not a static site with interactive bits.

Naturally, you can't just upload it to an S3 bucket and call it a day.

Maybe they should just switch to Astro?

I've been working with Astro for a while. Really feels like the ultimate swiss-army knife. Deployments are edge by defaults to cloudflare pages.

Didn't look back.
