I am very new to Next.js. I came across it first two years ago in a Vercel setup and it was it was a mess. I now attribute that to the code base rather than either Vercel or Next.js itself.

Fast forward to ~9 months ago. I joined a company that self hosts Next.js in GCP (Cloud Run). The set up is so effortless I’ve actually started building a new side project completely with it. I come from C#/Swift ecosystems.

This is to say, my anecdotal experience has been extremely good. Next.js is an amazing framework and has been the catalyst for me retooling my whole career into the TypeScript/JavaScript world after resisting for many years.
