Vercel has released Next.js 15, the latest version of the company’s React-based web framework, featuring a stable, production-ready version of the high-performance Turbopack bundler optimized for JavaScript and TypeScript.
Written in the Rust language, Turbopack means an improved iteration velocity for developers, Vercel said. Turbopack is faster than the previous Webpack bundler, according to the company. In observations with the vercel.com application, Turbopack has delivered 76.8% faster local server startup, 96.3 faster code updates with Fast Refresh, and as much as a 45.8% faster initial route compile.
Next.js 15 was introduced on October 21. Instructions on using Next.js 15 can be found at next.js.org.
