See the other comment about the Dutch dashboard. Covid data isn’t changing that quickly. Having the frontend render something more static simplifies the design. No sql queries are even needed and you don’t need to scale out your database.

Well the Dutch site takes much longer to load. All these comments are (rightfully) discussing the back end being incredibly over-engineered, but 99% of people do not care about that. They care about how quickly a page loads, which the gov.uk site does much better.

I guess that implies that using Next for a "static site" is not a great idea.
