Heroku Nextjs

Overview:

Next.js on Heroku allows you to deploy React-based universal web apps on the Heroku platform with the support of a custom Node/Express server. It enables you to combine a Node API with a Next/React UI and implement custom URL routes seamlessly. Heroku's command-line tools, a free account, git, Node.js, and Next.js are required for production deployment.

Features:

• Custom Node/Express Server Support: Combine a Node API with a Next/React UI and implement custom URL routes.
• Automated Build Process: Heroku automatically runs npm run build since March 2019, simplifying the deployment process.
• Git Deployment: Supports git push heroku main for deploying changes, providing easy version control.
• Environment Variables: Utilize Heroku config vars within React components via the next.config.js file, allowing dynamic configurations without rebuilding.

Summary:

Next.js on Heroku provides a seamless solution for deploying React-based web apps with a custom Node/Express server. By leveraging Heroku's automated build process, git deployment, and support for environment variables, developers can easily deploy and configure their Next.js applications for production use on the Heroku platform.
