I used Next.js for the first time (on a real project) for my course about React hooks [1]. I love it now! I used to create my React projects with Parcel [2], but I’m pretty sure Next.js will now be my default stack to start a new side project.

Only downside I see: a Next.js app using functions or server-side rendering is not easy to deploy somewhere else than on Vercel [3]. And Vercel is great (even with its free tier), but if you don’t like it, you’ll have to do some manual work to deploy your app.

Definitely agree!

WRT deploying Next.js apps, I typically go static first because it makes it easier, exporting it to static files

But there are some other options I've found:

Next.js on Netlify works great if you want to deploy to Netlify: https://github.com/netlify/next-on-netlify

I haven't tried this, but an option to deploy with AWS Lambda and Serverless Framework https://codedaily.io/tutorials/184/Deploy-a-NextJS-App-With-...
