I have just finished my own test with Netlify. It is a static page provider with Git deploy integration opportunity (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket) . Netlify has got very good performance, it provides https sertification and we can use our own domain with the projects. So, we have got everything that we need for a starter project. Here comes a brief guide!
Our next excellent tool is Next.js! It provides server-side rendering application development tool for us. Next.js can export our full application by pages. So it can behave as a server-side rendered application, but without Node.js server.
🔥 Important note: Netlify can serve static page only! So if you have multiple route in your application then you need to export every of them! It is not a Next.js guide article, but I would give you a hint, how to do that:
You only need to add three additional script to you package.json:
{
"scripts": {
"build: "next build",
"export": "next export",
"deploy": "npm run build && npm run export"
}
}
```
After the *"npm run export"* command, Next.js will take care about the rest. It will generate every of your page and subpage as a static application.
**🤔 Ok, what's next?!**
Deploy your project to GitHub/GitLab or Bitbucket. After that, you can create your Netlify project and connect it to your repository.
As you can see, you can select the branch, where you would like to watch the changes. Netlify will copy every new version after commits, and then you can give a command which will take care about the build process. In our case, we can use *"npm run deploy"* as the build command.
You have a publish directory option in the form, where you can give the generated build's folder name. In Next.js case, we need to use *"out"*, because Next will export everything into that folder.
That's all! After these settings, Netlify will take care about hosting and build process on your selected branch.
👨💻 Happy coding!

specifying that the out folder was my problem thank you
Hi Kristian,
I have deployed one next js site to netlify. Site is opening properly but when I have try to browse contact page from heading ..it shows 404 error where as in localhost the contact page getting opened with contact form and googlemap
what could be the error.
-SL
You may want to look into Netlify's documentation on site redirects. May not address your issue specifically with Next.js, but could be helpful at least if there's an error with routing: netlify.com/docs/redirects/
wonderful
Thanks Krisztian, you just made deployment super easy for me!
You're very welcome! :)
i'm trying to do the same but it's keep failing and not uploading to netlifyher's my logs IDK wha's is going on but i have tried it many times

typo in code block:
needs to be "build": instead of "build:
Krisztian, thanks for share your knowledge. It works perfect like a charm!
the scripts section should look like this:
.....
"scripts": {
"dev": "next",
"build": "next build",
"start": "next start",
"export": "next export",
"deploy": "npm run build && npm run export"
.....
and...
the build command is: npm run deploy
pulish dir is: out
see screenshots as well for running site using example site from zeit now
Git: github.com/lisaiceland/nextjs-now-...
running on now as well pointing to the github repo: nextjs-drab-nu-95.now.sh/
All works well except the fact that my styled-components not working and it shows me 404 errors with loading some components
It worked, thanks!
