Run Your Project in Production Mode Locally
Chapter 5:
Step 5 - Running in Production Mode
Running your project in production mode is essential to simulate the behavior of your application in a real-world environment. This allows you to experience how it performs when fully optimized for speed, resource efficiency, and user experience, providing a more accurate understanding of what your live users will experience.
To run your app in production mode locally, use the following command:
For example:
This command triggers a build using @nx/next:build with production-level optimizations enabled, such as:
• Minification of JavaScript and CSS for faster loading times.
• Tree-shaking to eliminate unused code, reducing bundle size.
• Code splitting to load parts of the app on-demand rather than all at once.
• Static optimization for pages that can be pre-rendered, speeding up load times.
By running the project locally in production mode, you can catch any performance bottlenecks, configuration issues, or build-related errors before deployment. This ensures that your application is optimized for real-world use, minimizing potential issues in the production environment.
Running in production mode locally is a critical step in your development workflow to ensure that your application runs smoothly, performs efficiently, and is ready for deployment to live users.
