Vercel is replacing Webpack in Next.js — which has been downloaded more than 3 billion times — with a new Rust-based bundler for JavaScript and TypeScript code in the latest release of Next.js. It was one of a slew of changes in https://nextjs.org/blog/next-13 unveiled at the Next.js Conf 22 conference in San Francisco.

NextJS 13 allows developers to achieve dynamic web pages, he said, thanks to innovations across three categories: https://vercel.com/blog/turbopack, a new routing and rendering infrastructure, and updates to the components and modules used within the Next.js developer toolkit.

“We can make it easier to co-locate data fetching inside components, enabling global data fetching in your application,” said https://www.linkedin.com/in/delbaoliveira/?originalSubdomain=uk, senior developer advocate for Vercel.

“This isn’t a static page,” de Oliveira said, demoing the data fetching code, which leverages a new data fetching API.
