Open-sourcing Remotebear, a remote jobs aggregator

Vercel

Remotebear’s website is built with NextJS, is hosted on Vercel, and uses Server Side Rendering for the pages generation. It grabs the jobs/companies data from NextJS serverless functions that expose jobs-data.json and company-data.json (they just read them once loaded and keep them in memory). For jobs and companies data, we set a long caching window at the edge. We never show stale data because every time a pull request is merged, Vercel starts a new build, invalidating the entire jobs/companies cache. Immutable assets (e.g.: fonts, images, etc…) are also cached on the browser. Basically, the way we store and use data on the front-end is a mixture between State Site Generation and Server Side Rendering; we’re not going all-in with a Static Site Generation approach because pagination, search, and filtering, would still require some kind of Server Side Rendering to generate the pages on-demand.
