Building and Deploying Serverless Applications with NextJS and Vercel
hire NextJS developers, understanding these fundamentals will help you create a robust, scalable application.
● Pages

In NextJS, each page in your application is represented by a file in the pages directory. These files are automatically converted to routes based on their file names. For example, a file named index.js would correspond to the root route (/). To create a new page, simply add a new file to the pages directory with the desired route name.
● Components
NextJS applications are built using React components, which are reusable pieces of UI that can be composed to create complex interfaces. Components can be created as standalone files and imported into pages as needed. This modular approach encourages code reusability and maintainability.
● API Routes
NextJS allows you to create serverless API routes by adding files to the pages/api directory. These routes are automatically turned into serverless functions that can be called from your application’s front-end. This makes it easy to create dynamic, data-driven applications without the need for a separate back-end server.
● Dynamic Imports
NextJS supports dynamic imports, which enable you to load components or modules on-demand, rather than bundling them with your application’s initial payload. This
