Incrementally Adopting Next.js

Next.js has been designed for gradual adoption. With Next.js, you can continue using your existing code and add as much (or as little) React as you need. By starting small and incrementally adding more pages, you can prevent derailing feature work by avoiding a complete rewrite.

Many companies need to modernize their tech stack to reduce costs, increase developer productivity, and provide the best experience for their customers. Component-driven development has greatly improved the deployment velocity and reusability of modern codebases.

And with over 8 million downloads/month, React is the leading component-driven choice for developers. Next.js, the React framework for production, enables you to incrementally adopt React.
