93% Faster Next.js in (your) Kubernetes

Next.js brings advanced capabilities to developers out-of-the-box, but scaling it in your own environment can be challenging due to uneven load distribution and high latency. Watt addresses these issues by leveraging SO_REUSEPORT in the Linux kernel, resulting in significantly improved performance metrics compared to traditional scaling approaches on Kubernetes. The implemented solution, described in the post, eliminates some coordination overhead and improves load distribution and reliability for Node.js applications like Next.js running in containerized environments.
