been saying it for awhile... Next.js is an ad for their services. Take a look at their middleware. It's designed to be used solely with their serverless cloud BS. It uses a janky JS sandbox which means you can't use node APIs. It's just horrible for no good reason at all. I've never seen middleware so intentionally crippled anywhere before. And the whole reason you need middleware is to maneuver around the flaws that the prior person mentioned with getServerSideProps. Next.js probably seems great if you're writing greenfield code in a dead simple web app. Routing/URL handling on Next.js is just broken. This is all glaringly obvious if you've been around the SPA/SSR world for more than a day.
