This post details how Extra Space Storage achieved 17x faster build times by migrating their flagship site to Vercel and leveraging Next.js. The migration streamlined their frontend architecture, utilizing Vercel's global Edge Network, Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) for primary sales flow pages, and Edge Middleware for routing and personalization. The use of per-branch environments significantly improved testing and reduced build times by 95%. The platform's ability to handle caching and serverless functions reduced infrastructure management overhead, improving site reliability and stability.
