Next.js Static Export: Tips & Tricks for Production

Static exports in Next.js allow you to deploy your application as a set of static HTML files. This approach offers excellent performance and can be hosted on any static file server.

Key benefits include: - Zero server costs - Instant page loads via CDN - Simplified deployment pipeline - Built-in security (no server to attack)

However, there are trade-offs. You lose access to server-side features like API routes, middleware, and ISR. Plan your architecture accordingly.
