Keynote - Next.js & Chrome
Next.js has become one of the most widely used React frameworks in the world and a small team of Google Chrome engineers are working to make it better. But why is Google trying to improve a React framework in the first place? In this talk, we’ll cover how the Chrome Aurora team is working to advance the web framework ecosystem beginning with Next.js. From improving core loading performance to providing an extensive number of utilities, the optimizations the Aurora team have landed have already improved the developer and end-user experience of hundreds of thousands of Next.js applications. By the end of this talk, you’ll learn about how the team have designed and shipped numerous image, script, and font optimizations as well as get a glimpse of a number of exciting new features planned for the near future.
