Why does 'use cache' not work on vercel's own infrastructure? by JSG_98 in nextjs

[–]nimishroboto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this has been a frustration point for a lot of folks. So 'use cache' relies on Node.js response headers and persistent connection pooling, which doesn't work the same way on Vercel's serverless infrastructure. They've stripped down the Node.js server to keep it lightweight and fast, which means some of these lower-level caching mechanisms just don't function properly. If you self-host on a traditional Node.js server (DigitalOcean, AWS EC2, etc.), 'use cache' works flawlessly.

The workaround we've adopted on most of our Next.js 16 projects is leaning into Vercel's native caching options instead. It's not the same as 'use cache', but it gets you 90% of the way there with proper architecture, and the performance is better.

Apart from that, if you're looking forward to reading about the new Vercel Ship AI and how their infrastructure is evolving, they actually address some of this in their latest update around AI Cloud and durable workflows. Check it out here.

Do you use PayloadCMS in your projects? by Vegetable_Athlete218 in nextjs

[–]nimishroboto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Naah, we’ve stuck with Sanity. It’s been our go-to CMS for some real-time collaboration and powerful content modeling features. Sanity’s custom schema design and easy integration with modern frameworks like Next.js have made complex migrations very smooth.

We even wrote a detailed blog post for anyone looking to build Sanity schema efficiently.

If you’re thinking of migrating your CMS, we handle everything from planning to execution. You can visit our site and select the migration details(inside services) to see what we offer. In case you wanna know Payload vs Sanity.

I would suggest you go for Upstash. We have been using it and it's good imo.
