Case Study: DatoCMS cuts build times by 60% with Vercel and Next.js

DatoCMS builds 60% faster with a streamlined workflow

DatoCMS, a headless CMS serving over 25,000 businesses, needed to speed up its frontend workflow when build times grew and complexity increased on its static CDN. To solve this, the team turned to Vercel and Next.js on Vercel to improve flexibility and simplify how pages were generated and deployed.

With Vercel, DatoCMS was able to use both Static Generation and Server Side Rendering, all on one platform for building, previewing, and deploying. This streamlined workflow cut build times from 10 minutes to 4 minutes, a 60% improvement, and helped the team launch its Realtime Updates API for seamless live content changes.
