I'm interested in ejecting from Vercel, so I'm trying to get off their proprietary-ish create-react-app + Vercel API thing, and onto Nextjs, which is very similar in shape, but more portable.
I had to disable `craCompat` in `next.config.js` to stop us from crashing on their webpack config, see https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions/25858#discussioncomment-1573822
The frontend seems to work at a basic level, but network requests fail, and images don't seem to be working. I'll work on those next!
Note that this commit was forced through despite failing lint checks. We'll need to fix that up too!
Also, after the codemod, I moved `src/pages` to the more canonical location `pages`. Lint tooling seemed surprised to not find a `pages` directory, and I didn't see a config that was making it work correctly in the other location, so I figured it's that Next is willing to check `pages` or `src/pages`? But this is more canonical so yeah!
When we decided to start out with /api/assetProxy, we didn't know how much the load would be in practice, so we just went ahead and tried it! Turns out, it was too high, and Vercel shut down our deployment 😅
Now, we've off-loaded this to a Fastly CDN proxy, which should run even faster and more efficiently, without adding pressure to Vercel servers and pushing our usage numbers! And I suspect we're gonna stay comfortably in Fastly's free tier :) but we'll see!
(Though, as always, if Neopets can finally upgrade their own stuff to HTTPS, we'll get to tear down this whole proxy altogether!)
Well, there's no real bundle yet, but just was noticing that PreloadJS is like 100KB, and we're only using very very basic features. Simplify and save!
