Next.js, React Query, and... Salesforce?

Salesforce and Next.js might not be the most obvious pairing, but together, they create a powerful stack for modern, user-friendly applications for large companies.

Salesforce's Apex APIs provide robust backend capabilities, while Next.js shines as a React framework for building fast, scalable, and SEO-friendly applications. The glue holding these together was React Query, which makes data management and caching a breeze.

Prefetching for Instant Navigation


In a traditional Salesforce app, navigating between pages often involves loading data on-demand, leading to noticeable delays. With Next.js and React Query, you can strategically prefetch data before a user navigates to the next page. This means by the time they click, the data is already in the cache, making transitions feel instantaneous.

Optimistic Updates for Snappy Interactions

Salesforce apps often rely on roundtrips to the server for updates, which can make interactions feel sluggish. React Query enables optimistic updates, letting users see changes immediately while the backend processes the request.

The Result

By combining Salesforce's powerful backend with Next.js's rendering capabilities and React Query's data management, you get an app that feels modern and responsive, rivaling the best SaaS experiences.
