In this video, I test the Next.js Pages architecture on a node-based Azure App Services deployment. Follow along to see how I deploy my app and run automated Cypress tests to see what features of Next.js work.

I built a Next.js Pages architecture app that tests every important feature of Next.js, including getStaticProps, getServerSideProps, on-demand incremental static regeneration, API routes, image optimization, and more. I wanted to see how well Azure App Services supports all these important features of Next.js in a node-based environment.
I perform a local deployment to Azure App Services via the VS Code Extension, using the basic tier of Azure. I followed along with this video for the deployment: • Hosting nextjs app in ...
While I still think Vercel and Netlify are the best places to host a Next.js application, Azure App Services was worth testing. Because Azure App Services provides a simple Node server, Next.js works well. However, it’s harder to scale, will not be as performant, and requires SO much more configuration. For those reasons, I’m still hosting my projects on Vercel and Netlify.
