Next.js Deployment

Deploy Next.js applications to production with Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and comprehensive monitoring.

Overview

This skill provides patterns and code examples for deploying Next.js applications to production environments. It covers containerization with Docker, CI/CD automation with GitHub Actions, environment configuration, health checks, and production monitoring. Use standalone output mode for container deployments, multi-stage Docker builds for optimized images, and OpenTelemetry for observability.
