Is Anybody Building SaaS with Next.js?
by
chickencoder
Just wondering if anybody has a live project, with paying customers built on Next.js.
We recently migrated https://outline.wtf to Next.js and it's been a great experience for us. We use a Static Generation for all of our public pages. Those that don't need any data are statically generated e.g. about, faqs etc and all the others use SSG (via
getStaticProps) e.g. product pages (https://outline.wtf/flash). This has worked well for us as all these public pages are now super fast for users and we get all the SEO benefits.We also utilize Client-side Rendering along with Static Generator for our "logged in" pages e.g. serve the basic page, then client-side fetch any data (we're using https://github.com/vercel/swr for this and it fits nicely into Next).
We're deploying to Vercel and it all just works. Would recommend.
Our backend is a separate Rails API so we haven't had to use API routes yet.
I work full time at helloyumi.com, we are using Next.js for many parts of the frontend experience, almost fully migrated from React/Redux but not quite. We have many paying customers and Next has proven to have a good ROI on the work we did.
That's really helpful to know! Do you mind sharing more about the stack? Is it deployed serverlessly, do you have a separate backend, do you use API routes at all or any static rendering? :)
Our Next.js pages are statically rendered and hosted in AWS S3 and served by AWS Cloudfront CDN. We use a AWS Lambda@Edge functions to allow serving React & Next.js pages on the same domain. The pages communicate with a backend Node.js API hosted in AWS.
Thanks for sharing. Really interesting stuff.
Just launching last week my own SaaS, PostMage.
Built with Next JS in SSG mode (static mode), TypeScript, styled with Tailwind CSS. Backend in serverless.
For more information about the tech stack: Nextless SaaS Boilerplate.
If you want to build in cutting edge technology Next JS is the perfect framework.
i am building with nuxtjs and firebase
http://serverless.page/ is build on Nextjs and Firebase.
I recently built out https://dropible.com using Next.JS.
Static generation + SSR with a NodeJS Backend(via koa). Loving their platform. Was using Vue's NuxtJS prior and preferring Next.js
Not done with the build yet, but like the ecosystem.
There's some funny things that aren't perfect, like with static generation it can be a bit more complicated to work with certain headless CMS to get sluggified URLs, but found a workaround to get it working. Overall happy with it and it runs pretty fast.
No paying customers yet but:
Both are done with Next.js. I am using the custom server template with express, typeorm and postgresql. Everything hosted on DigitalOcean.
If you have any other question feel free to reach out :) btw I am looking at Blitz.js as an alternative for future side projects
Great! Thanks a lot
I am doing lasts projects on NextJs . Now I am doing a Project Management in NextJs + Firebase
