Next.js Conf Keynote (Next.js 14)

[Music] [Applause] good morning and Welcome to our fourth annual nexs conf it's so great to see you all here today Francisco and online joining us from all over the world with watch parties going on right now in London Sydney Barcelona just all over

it's so great to be here with you all today I started building nextjs seven years ago because I wanted to build a blazing fast website but I didn't want to deal with all the frustrating tooling and setup and infrastructure around it and it's been incredible to see it grow till today to the tune of 850,000 monthly active [Music] Developers

we're thank you we're thankful for to you all because this is these are the folks that are building the web and pushing all your incredible deployments every single day so thank you and by the way that's the population of the city that we're in right now San Francisco or even 24 full Miami FC stadiums to see the goat Messi not Cristiano play so the community continues to build

some of the most incredible websites on the internet Powers nike.com notion.so And even that bot that you might have talked to recently chat gbd in fact the chat Bots and the AI think about nextjs how would chbd describe it let's see an open source react front and development web framework no hallucinations it's awesome server sight rendering just for a sanity check let's

ask Claude by anthropic popular react framework awesome thank you Claude well it seems like the AI are in alignment good to go so to me nexts is not just about making Fast sites it's about making sites that are personal experiences that are delivered just in time to every visitor and remember their preferences what they've been doing their card State their logged in state just a better web that's unique to each

individual so we wanted this keynote itself to be custom so we built an app of course with nextjs app router you can head to next sh SL vote I'm going to do that myself as well and so to make this keynote personalized we're going to let you vote on what I'm going to talk about next no pressure head to next vote and let's see what the results are showing so far

seems like all right it's going to be a close it's going to be a close battle between next4 and performance this is fantastic all right let's get some more people in it's getting really close all right I'll do all of them at once concurrently with suspense in concurrent mode

all right let's just go with NEX S14 it seems like the clear winner so far so the foundation of NEX sh14 is of course the app router and it has three main pillars number one we built this app router on the basis of flexibility for the developer we wanted to give you all these apis like layouts and Nest layouts and the new metadata API of course app riter had to be powerful the most powerful thing is this data fetching system with caching and
