# Beyond Static vs. Dynamic: Next.js's New Unified Model

Aurora Scharff (Crayon Consulting) explains how Next.js is moving to a unified model that ends the static/dynamic split and helps developers manage Suspense boundaries.

Next.js is evolving beyond the static vs. dynamic split and moving toward a new unified model. Aurora Scharff, Web Developer at Crayon Consulting, explains this new direction, which is built on top of Server Components and cash components.

The new model's goal is to make apps faster and more intuitive by default. Instead of a hard static/dynamic split, you "suspend your dynamic content and the rest is just gonna be statically rendered."

Aurora notes that many Next.js developers struggle with where to place Suspense boundaries to avoid blocking the page. This new unified model will help by providing warnings when developers do something they probably shouldn't be doing, guiding them toward a more performant app structure.
