Next.js 15 Edge Runtime Configuration

January 27, 2025Updated Feb 17, 2026

Next.js 15 runs on the Edge runtime by default.

Generally, databases aren't much of an issue, but when fetching OpenAI's API, since it only supports Node:

export const runtime = 'nodejs'

You need to specify the Node runtime this way.
