The [Next.js 16 release](https://nextjs.org/blog/next-16) is here and Netlify is ready.

Deploy the latest version, including Turbopack, React Compiler, and enhanced caching APIs, with zero configuration.

-   Turbopack (stable): Up to 10× faster Fast Refresh and 2-5× faster builds
-   React Compiler (stable): Automatic memoization for smoother re-renders
-   Improved caching APIs: `revalidateTag` with `cacheLife` profile argument for Stale-While-Revalidate behavior and Server Actions-only `updateTag` to immediately refresh cached data

**Template update**

We’ve updated the [Next Platform Starter](https://github.com/netlify-templates/next-platform-starter) to v16, showcasing Turbopack and the new caching APIs in action. In our tests, the project saw a 2.8× faster `next build` with Turbopack.

**Upgrading to v16 on Netlify**

If you’re upgrading from v15, no Netlify configuration changes are required. Teams that have opted out of automatic updates for Netlify’s OpenNext adapter will need to [manually upgrade](https://docs.netlify.com/build/frameworks/framework-setup-guides/nextjs/legacy-runtime/upgrading-or-reverting-adapter/#upgrade-to-the-latest-adapter), or simply opt back in to receive automatic updates.
