Introduction
Next.js has revolutionized how we build React applications, blending server-side rendering, static site generation, and client-side interactivity. But as applications scale, performance bottlenecks emerge — especially around redundant server computations, repeated database queries, and excessive API calls. This is where advanced server-side caching becomes critical.
This article explores how to implement robust caching strategies in Next.js using tools like Redis, Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR), and intelligent revalidation. We’ll cover patterns that go beyond basic getStaticProps and getServerSideProps, diving into layered caching architectures that significantly reduce latency and improve scalability.
