Migrating a production app is not an easy feat, especially if it's actively being used by over a million people. In this talk, we'll explore how we rebuilt our homepage and product page on the app directory using next.js 13. We'll highlight some of the challenges we faced and the solutions we came up with

React development often doesn’t mean JUST React anymore. Frameworks like NextJS are on the rise and they offer a lot of power out of the box.
But how does it really work in the background? We’ll explore how different rendering strategies like SSR, SSG, CSR or ISR work, when to use each one, and how NextJS can optimise rendering, enhance page speed, and simplify server-side functionality in your React apps.

React Server Components (RSC) represent a powerful new paradigm for building fast, interactive web applications by allowing server-side rendering of components alongside client-side ones. While Next.js has emerged as a popular framework for leveraging RSC, it's not the only option.

In this talk, we'll explore how to integrate React Server Components into a custom application without relying on Next.js. You'll learn about the core concepts of RSC, the benefits of server-side rendering, and how to configure your own custom server environment to take full advantage of RSC in any React project. By the end, you'll walk away with a deep understanding of how React Server Components work independently of popular frameworks and how to apply them to improve performance and scalability in your applications.

Next.JS has long been the favored framework for React enthusiasts, but with the recent Next V13 update, things have taken an intriguing turn. The new version has introduced some highly anticipated features that have left developers with mixed feelings. The challenges arise from React's extensive history predating Next.JS, making it difficult to seamlessly integrate new functionalities like the 'Servicer Action' and others. However, Next.JS stands out as one of the first frameworks to tackle the server/client territory within a single code block. This innovative approach is still in its early stages and promises to shape the future of frameworks to come. To delve deeper into this exciting topic, make sure to attend our event.
