Next.js + Vercel Website

Detailed guidance for building a production-ready website using Next.js App Router on Vercel.

When to Use

• Creating or modifying pages in the app/ directory
• Adding layouts, metadata, loading, or error boundaries
• Making decisions that affect performance or deployment on Vercel

Instructions

• Use Next.js App Router (app/ directory).
• Prefer Server Components by default.
• Add "use client" only when interactivity or browser APIs are required.
• Assume Vercel serverless runtime:
  • Stateless execution
  • No runtime filesystem writes
  • No long-running background processes
• Use next/image and next/font for performance.
• Prefer static generation and caching; only add revalidation when needed.
• Place shared utilities in lib/, UI in components/.
• Run lint and typecheck after changes and fix all issues.
• Ask clarifying questions if routing, rendering strategy, or runtime behavior is unclear.
