I know that I’m an edge case and that I’m losing half of the benefit of these modern stacks’ blurring the lines between client and server but I still wish I could use something like Next on the frontend but Rust/Go on the backend.

Super excited for `next/future/image` & edge API routes – it's really gonna change up the game for frontend development!

  Wrapping image in div always seemed weird to me. Thankfully they are fixing that

    It was necessary because the aspect-ratio CSS property didn't exist before

    This. I've always hated working with Next Image.

  It’s a welcome improvement. I don’t understand why image generation needs to be dynamic. Why not generate responsive variants during build time? These are likely not going to change.

    Any UGC needs to be dynamic

  You should probably mention you're on the Vercel team instead of sounding like an enthusiastic third party. Calling out astroturfing is a no-no around here, but given you mostly only comment on Next.js news you should be more transparent about it.

I wonder if we can build a Next.js app with this new `edge-runtime` mode, and host it on any platform that supports `edge-runtime` [0] APIs (like Cloudflare Workers (I think Vercel uses it?) and Deno Deploy). If yes, that's truly amazing. It'll empower more and more people to run stuff at the Edge. I'm also working on an open-source alternative to the above offers [1], so I would love to be able to run and support Next.js on it. edit: formatting [0]: https://edge-runtime.vercel.app/ https://edge-runtime.vercel.app/ [1]: https://github.com/lagonapp/serverless https://github.com/lagonapp/serverless

  In the future, yes absolutely! Cloudflare is working on their support for hosting Next.js. And would be happy to chat with you about your solution.

    Is there any public mention of Cloudflare's work on this? I can't find anything

    Great news! Feel free to DM me on Twitter (@tomlienard) if you want to chat about this, as I also want to support Next.js in the future for my runtime.
