Case Study: Algolia cuts build times in half with Next.js on Vercel

Algolia cuts build times in half with ISR using Next.js on Vercel

Algolia, a company that helps users create dynamic digital experiences through search and discovery, needed to improve its development cycle as its website and blog grew. With a small technical team and increasing page and feature updates, the company was facing longer build times and a complex Gatsby-based infrastructure.

By moving to Next.js on Vercel, Algolia adopted features like Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) and Vercel Analytics to simplify maintenance and enable faster collaboration. Vercel helped cut Algolia’s build times by 50%, and the team could show website changes instantly rather than waiting for daily deployments.
