Next.js from Development to Deployment - Next Export and Limitations

The video tutorial explains how to use the Next.js 'next export' command to generate a static website. It highlights the limitations of this command, such as the inability to use API routes and image optimization. The tutorial demonstrates how to temporarily replace image optimization with standard HTML image tags to bypass these issues. It also covers generating a static site, handling API routes, and using the 'serve' package to run the site locally. Finally, it discusses deploying the site using platforms like Versel, which support image optimization.

What is the significance of deploying to platforms like Vercel?

What is the output of running 'NPM run build' after removing image optimization?

How can you serve the generated static site locally?
