Getting Started with Next.js 16

Next.js 16 brings a wave of improvements that make building modern web applications even more enjoyable. In this post, we'll walk through the highlights and see how they change the way we build.

Async Params

One of the most notable changes is that dynamic route params are now a Promise that must be awaited. This aligns with the streaming-first architecture and gives the framework more control over when data is resolved.

What's Next

With these foundations in place, we can build faster, more resilient applications. Stay tuned for more posts exploring advanced patterns.
