The error message you're seeing is due to the size of the data for your page exceeding the recommended threshold of 128 kB. Large amounts of data can indeed reduce performance and cause issues like the one you're experiencing.
In Next.js, the maximum size of the request body sent to a Server Action is 1MB by default. This is to prevent large amounts of data from being sent to the server, which can consume a lot of server resources to parse. However, you can configure this limit using the experimental serverActionsBodySizeLimit option in your next.config.js file. This option can take the number of bytes or any string format supported by bytes, for example 1000, '500kb' or '3mb'.
Here's an example of how you can set this in your next.config.js:
module.exports = {
experimental: {
serverActions: true,
serverActionsBodySizeLimit: '2mb',
},
}
This sets the limit to 2MB. You can adjust this value as needed, but be aware that larger values can consume more server resources.
Also, if you're not using Next.js in a serverless environment, and understand the performance implications of not using a CDN or dedicated media host, you can set the responseLimit to false in your API route's config. This will remove the limit on the response size. Here's how you can do this:
export const config = {
api: {
responseLimit: false,
},
}
However, please note that these are experimental features and may not be suitable for all use cases. It's generally recommended to reduce the size of your data if possible, for example by paginating your data or only fetching the data that's needed for the current view.
For more information, you can refer to the Next.js documentation on Server Actions (https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/data-fetching/server-actions) and the Next.js documentation on API Routes (https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/api-routes).

@somber lake explain "Next.js in a serverless environment", do you mean if i use api routes or something else?
somber lakeBOT
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
Next.js in a serverless environment refers to the deployment of your Next.js application on a serverless computing platform. In a serverless architecture, the server, as well as the infrastructure management tasks, are handled by a cloud provider. This allows developers to focus on writing code without worrying about the underlying infrastructure.
When you deploy your Next.js application to a serverless platform like Vercel, each page in your application becomes a serverless function. This includes any API routes you have defined. API routes in Next.js allow you to build your API endpoints as serverless functions, which can handle HTTP requests and responses.
For example, if you have an API route defined at pages/api/user.js, this will become a serverless function at /api/user when deployed. This function can handle different types of HTTP requests, such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.
Serverless functions in Next.js are stateless and event-driven, meaning they run only when triggered by an event (like an HTTP request), and they do not store any data between invocations. They can be used to handle a variety of tasks, such as data fetching, user authentication, form submissions, and more.
For more information, you can refer to the Next.js documentation on API Routes (https://nextjs.org/docs/api-routes/introduction) and the Vercel documentation on Serverless Functions (https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/functions/serverless-functions).

@somber lake I am using vercel to deploy my site. so I should use the experimental solution?
somber lakeBOT
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
If you're deploying your Next.js application on Vercel and encountering issues with large page data, you might consider the experimental solution as a temporary workaround. However, it's important to note that experimental features in Next.js are not stable and can change at any time, so they should be used with caution.
The experimental solution involves adjusting the serverActionsBodySizeLimit option in your next.config.js file to increase the limit on the request body size for Server Actions. Here's an example:
module.exports = {
experimental: {
serverActions: true,
serverActionsBodySizeLimit: '2mb',
},
}
This sets the limit to 2MB. You can adjust this value as needed, but be aware that larger values can consume more server resources.
However, the recommended approach is to reduce the size of your data if possible. This could involve paginating your data, only fetching the data that's needed for the current view, or optimizing your data structures to reduce their size.
For more information, you can refer to the Next.js documentation on Server Actions (https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/data-fetching/server-actions) and the Next.js documentation on API Routes (https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/api-routes).

@somber lake I'm still getting the error

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
I'm sorry to hear that you're still encountering the issue. Based on the information provided in the extracts, it's difficult to provide a definitive solution. The error message you're seeing is related to the size of the data for your page exceeding the recommended threshold of 128 kB.
If you've already tried increasing the serverActionsBodySizeLimit and the issue persists, it's highly recommended to look into ways to reduce the size of your data. This could involve:
- Paginating your data
- Only fetching the data that's needed for the current view
- Optimizing your data structures to reduce their size
If these steps don't resolve the issue, it might be helpful to reach out to Vercel support or the Next.js community for more specific guidance based on your application's configuration and data requirements.
For more information, you can refer to the Next.js documentation on Server Actions (https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/data-fetching/server-actions) and the Next.js documentation on API Routes (https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/api-routes).

The difference in behavior between the English version of the page and other languages could be due to how Next.js handles internationalization and localization.
In Next.js, when you configure internationalized routing, each locale version of your page becomes a separate route in your application. This means that the English version of your page and the versions in other languages are actually separate pages from the perspective of Next.js.
When a user visits a page, Next.js will automatically add the lang attribute to the <html> tag based on the user's language. However, Next.js doesn't know about variants of a page, so it's up to you to add the hreflang meta tags using next/head to help search engines understand the language and geographical targeting of a webpage.
If you're using localization in your application, you might be loading different sets of data for each locale. For example, you might have separate "dictionaries" of translated content for each supported language. This could potentially result in different amounts of data being loaded for different languages, even if the overall structure of the page is the same.
If the data for the English version of your page is below the recommended threshold of 128 kB and the data for other languages is above this threshold, this could explain why you're only seeing the error for non-English languages.
For more information, you can refer to the Next.js documentation on Internationalization (https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/internationalization) and the Next.js documentation on Localization (https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/routing/internationalization).
