Have you ever felt like your favourite framework was holding you back?

Next.js 15 is not just an update—it's a redefinition. Whether you’re building static sites or dynamic apps, this release introduces changes that developers have been craving for years.

🔧 Turbopack Is No Longer Beta

Say goodbye to slow builds. Turbopack is now the default bundler, replacing Webpack in most configurations. It’s 10x faster in local development and production builds.

📦 Partial Prerendering (PPR)

Now you can prerender only what matters—combine static and dynamic seamlessly in the same page. This means blazing-fast Time To First Byte (TTFB) without compromising interactivity.

💡 Improved Server Actions

Server Actions are now stable! Simplify API calls, remove unnecessary client bundles, and reduce complexity across your app.

🌍 Enhanced Internationalisation (i18n)

No more workarounds. i18n is fully integrated with dynamic routing, static exports, and fallback locales. Scaling globally has never been smoother.

⚙️ Unified Caching Strategy

Next.js 15 gives you cache: 'force-cache', cache: 'no-store', and revalidation in one place, making edge-first strategies much easier to manage.

  • Turbopack now stable
  • Partial Prerendering for hybrid rendering
  • Server Actions fully released
  • Better i18n handling
  • Granular caching improvements

🚀 Should You Upgrade?

If performance, DX, and scalability matter to you—the answer is a resounding yes. Backward compatibility is strong, and the migration docs are cleaner than ever.
