10 Next.js 16 Production Tips
After building LeadHunting AI on Next.js 16, here are 10 production tips.
1. Use App Router with ISR
export const revalidate = 3600;
ISR gives you static speed with dynamic freshness.
2. Built-in Cron (No Vercel Cron Needed)
Use a heartbeat endpoint triggered by traffic. Every page visit runs the scheduler.
3. Credit Billing with Stripe price_data
No product creation needed — dynamic pricing.
4. Multi-Provider Email Cascade
SES to Gmail to Brevo to Resend. 33,000+ emails/month for $0.
5. Security Headers in next.config.ts
CSP, COEP, COOP, CORP, HSTS.
6. GA4 Server-Side Tracking
Use Measurement Protocol for ad-blocker-proof analytics.
7. OG Images
Static 1200x630 + dynamic /api/og endpoint.
8. Content Pipeline
Gemini text + Imagen image + TTS audio + Veo video. All free tier.
9. Programmatic SEO
1,000+ zip code landing pages for local SEO.
10. $0 Admin Cost
Vercel Hobby + Supabase Free + Google AI Free + GitHub Free.
