Incrementally adopting Next.js at one of Europe's fastest growing brands | Customers | Vercel

What this post added

This post details reMarkable's incremental migration from Gatsby to Next.js and Vercel, focusing on the technical aspects of improving developer experience and performance. Key technical contributions include: achieving an 87% reduction in production build times (from 5m 55s to 39s) by adopting Next.js; improving development build startup times; leveraging Vercel Preview Deployments for faster stakeholder review cycles and feedback collection; and enabling a self-sufficient editorial team by integrating Sanity for custom landing page creation without developer intervention. The migration strategy involved modifying the website structure, moving to a pages folder, lifting data fetching to the pages-level, and rewriting queries before swapping frameworks.
