Next.js Conf 2020 was streamed all around the world by over 34,500 viewers on a custom platform this week on Tuesday. It was full of great news for the Next.js framework and ecosystem.
We'll do a deep dive of some Next.js 10.0 features later, but for now, this update includes a short overview of each.
Here's the keynote:

So that keynote covered quite a few releases. Next 10 is out, Next.js Analytics launched, and Next.js starter kits were introduced with Commerce being the first.

This announcement was somewhat expected. There were lots of indicators pointing to Next.js 10 being released at this conference. Coordinating planned secretive launches while working on open-source software in public is nearly impossible.
What I was surprised by was how many updates were included in Next 10.
They introduced 20 new features while reducing the bundle size by 16% 🤯
