The command "next start" is usually used to start a development server for a Next.js application.
Next.js is a popular framework for building server-side rendered React applications. It provides features like automatic code splitting, server-side rendering, and static site generation.
When you run the "next start" command, it will start a production-ready server for your Next.js application. It prepares the necessary assets, optimizes the application for performance, and serves it using a lightweight server like Express. This allows you to test and preview your application as it would run in production.
The "next start" command can be executed in the root directory of your Next.js project, typically through the command line or a script defined in your project's package.json file. Once the server is started, you can access your application by navigating to the specified URL in your browser.
