Next.js 14 brings significant performance improvements and new features that make building modern web applications even easier. Let's dive into what's new and how you can take advantage of these improvements.

Server Actions and Improved Performance

Server Actions are now stable in Next.js 14, allowing you to mutate data directly from your components without creating API routes. This simplifies your code and reduces boilerplate significantly.

"Next.js 14 is all about making your applications faster and your development experience smoother."

The new Turbopack bundler is now in beta, offering up to 53% faster local server startup and 94% faster code updates with Fast Refresh. This means a significantly improved development experience.

• Server Actions are now stable for data mutations
• Turbopack beta provides faster development builds
• Improved caching strategies for better performance
• Partial prerendering for optimal loading speeds
