Publishing a Next.js app to Vercel with Nx

Vercel Jekyll Hugo
  1. 1
    Vercel is the platform for frontend developers, providing the speed and reliability innovators need to create at the moment of inspiration.
    During this journey from setting up our Next.js app within an Nx workspace, to configuring Tailwind, Markdown rendering, Storybook and Cypress we're now at the point where we should look at the deployment of our site. Let's learn how to deploy to some static environment as well as leverage the rich features when deploying to Vercel.

    Jekyll is a simple, blog aware, static site generator.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    In our specific context of developing our personal portfolio website or blog, we can totally rely on static site generators. Tools like Jekyll, Eleventy, Hugo and so on do a perfect job in taking a set of markdown files and transform them into static HTML files. These can be deployed to any web server that is able to statically serve files. Often these tools are very opinionated on how you should structure your site and where to place the markdown files. This can be a pro and cons, depending on your needs. While for a simple portfolio website you don't really need any kind of backend, as your site grows, you might find it useful to have access to simple cloud functions and persistent backend storage to create a more dynamic experience for your visitors.
