I’m not a next.js or react fan at all, but “like always” is a weird thing to say about a feature that is Apache only. While Apache was wildly popular htaccess files and cgi/fcgi adapters for php, Perl and such were everywhere. These days they’ve fallen out of favor and every cloud provider has their own version of this that you can use. But let’s not pretend this is the way things have always been done, in my career pre-cloud I’ve worked with Apache and nginx, but also with Java servers (tomcat etc), phusion, IIS and occasionally custom app servers that would speak http.
