Purpose

Simple SSR app build with next.js

  • contains one static page
  • contains one page that fetches data
  • contains one API lambda

Demo

Deployed using now.sh.

Local dev

yarn
yarn run dev

Findings

  • Using environment variables sucks on now.sh: I had to set them 3 times in 2 config files.
  • next.js forces some tsconfig options that break tests:
    • jsx: 'preserve': doesn't transpile JSX
    • isolatedModules: true: prevents some type errors to be picked up across files
    • fortunately I could override them in the Jest config
  • Creating isomorphic API services is not trivial.
  • Apart from env variables, now.sh is pretty nifty:
    • keeps a list of deploys in the dashboard
    • can view build and runtime logs
    • deploys automatically get a unique domain
    • any deploy can be promoted to production
    • 1 click rollback
