The Web Development Podcast with Fexingo: Frontend, Backend, and Modern Web Stack

Why Your Next.js Build Takes 40 Seconds Longer Than It Should


Listen Later

Lucas and Luna dig into a common but overlooked performance bottleneck in modern web development: the build pipeline. They break down why incremental builds in Next.js can slow to a crawl, using the real-world example of a SaaS startup that saw its CI/CD pipeline balloon from 90 seconds to over 4 minutes after adding just a few dynamic routes. Lucas explains how React Server Components, static generation, and caching headers interact in ways that trip up even experienced teams. Luna shares data on how build times correlate with developer churn and deployment frequency. By the end, you'll understand why your build is slow and have a concrete checklist to fix it — no framework upgrade required.
