> What complexity does next.js solve?

in our case it solves performance, it actively keeps cache warmed up preventing it from ever serving a stale page or serving a non cached hit, preloads content for fast navigation, optimizes images, it's lightweight, scales horizontally, it's stable.

it has all the bells and whistles the big boys have, for free, you almost don't need to think about it, just follow some guidance.

while people say it's too much magic (there are 4 cache layers), you are always free to pop up the hood and read the documentation, which is excellent.
