Product News​

This section covers recent news or announcements from the product team. Read on to learn the latest news from the world of Azure Static Web Apps!

  • Oct 03 | Universal Rendering with Nuxt 3 and Azure Static Web Apps. Previously, you were able to deploy a static rendered Nuxt app on Azure Static Web Apps, where the entire app is pre-generated as static content. However, Nuxt 3 also supports universal rendering, which provides the performance and search engine optimization of server-side rendering while still enabling client-side interactivity. Get Started with this tutorial.

    It's here - Azure Static Web Apps has preview support for Hybrid Next.js apps, making zero-config deployments with Next.js even easier with support for Server-Side Rendering, Incremental Static Regeneration (SSR and ISR respectively), API Routes, advanced image compression, and Next.js Auth.
