Deploying Ultra-Fast Next.js Storefronts on Vercel Edge Infrastructure

Edge Rendering with Vercel & Next.js

Deploying headless storefronts on vercel using next App Router gives merchants the benefit of static page speed combined with dynamic serverless data fetching.

Edge Middleware Geo-Routing Script

Below is a production Next.js Edge Middleware script routing users based on geolocation headers:

// middleware.js - Vercel Edge Middleware
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server';

export function middleware(request) {
  const country = request.geo?.country || 'US';
  const response = NextResponse.next();
  response.headers.set('x-user-country', country);
  return response;
}

export const config = {
  matcher: ['/((?!_next/static|_next/image|favicon.ico).*)'],
};

Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR)

ISR allows merchants to update millions of static product pages on demand in the background without rebuilding the entire website.
