Getting Started with Next.js 16

Learn how to build modern web applications with Next.js 16, featuring Cache Components, React Compiler support, and Turbopack.

Next.js 16 represents a significant leap forward in React framework development. With the introduction of Cache Components, developers now have fine-grained control over caching strategies at the component level.

What's New in Next.js 16

The headline feature is Cache Components, which allow you to define caching behavior per component rather than per page. This enables partial prerendering where static content is served instantly while dynamic content streams in.

Combined with the React Compiler and Turbopack, you'll experience faster development builds and optimized production bundles without manual memoization.
