84f1e44d4d Deprecate edge runtime (#93369)
Note: re-apply of #92817

### What?

Deprecates the Edge Runtime and the `preferredRegion` route segment
config that only applied to edge runtime with build-time warnings,
TypeScript IDE hints, error documentation pages, and documentation
updates.

### Why?

Edge Runtime in Next.js is being deprecated in favor of the Node.js
runtime (the default). The `preferredRegion` route segment config is
tightly coupled to Edge Runtime and is also being deprecated.

### How?

**Edge Runtime deprecation:**
- Added `warnAboutEdgeRuntime()` helper using `Log.warnOnce` in
`packages/next/src/build/warn-about-edge-runtime.ts`
- Warning fires in `get-page-static-info.ts` (Webpack dev/build +
Turbopack build) and `turbopack-utils.ts` (Turbopack dev) when `runtime
= 'edge'` is detected
- Marked `'edge'` as `@deprecated` in the TypeScript language service
plugin (`rules/config.ts`)
- Created `errors/edge-runtime-deprecated.mdx` with migration guidance
- Updated documentation across 11 files to add deprecation notices or
simplify/remove outdated Edge Runtime references

**`preferredRegion` deprecation:**
- Added `warnAboutPreferredRegion()` helper in the same file
- Warning fires in `get-page-static-info.ts` for both App Router
(`config.preferredRegion`) and Pages Router (`config.config?.regions`)
- Marked `preferredRegion` as `@deprecated` in the TypeScript language
service plugin and the generated types (`next-types-plugin`)
- Created `errors/preferred-region-deprecated.mdx` with migration
guidance (remove the export)
- Updated documentation across 4 files to add deprecation notices

**Tests:**
- Added `test/e2e/edge-runtime-deprecated/` with fixture and assertions
for the edge runtime warning (dev + production)
- Added `test/production/preferred-region-deprecated/` with fixture and
assertions for the preferredRegion warning (production only -- Turbopack
dev does not surface `preferredRegion` from the Rust layer to JS)

title: Route Segment Config
description: Learn about how to configure options for Next.js route segments.
---
The Route Segment Config options allow you to configure the behavior of a [Page](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/page), [Layout](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/layout), or [Route Handler](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route) by directly exporting the following variables:
| Option | Type | Default |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| [`dynamicParams`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config/dynamicParams) | `boolean` | `true` |
| [`runtime`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config/runtime) | `'nodejs' \| 'edge' (deprecated)` | `'nodejs'` |
| [`preferredRegion`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config/preferredRegion) | `'auto' \| 'global' \| 'home' \| string \| string[] (deprecated)` | `'auto'` |
| [`maxDuration`](/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/route-segment-config/maxDuration) | `number` | Set by deployment platform |
## Version History
| Version | |
| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `v16.0.0` | `dynamic`, `dynamicParams`, `revalidate`, and `fetchCache` removed when [Cache Components](/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/cacheComponents) is enabled. See [Caching and Revalidating (Previous Model)](/docs/app/guides/caching-without-cache-components#route-segment-config). |
| `v16.0.0` | `export const experimental_ppr = true` removed. A [codemod](/docs/app/guides/upgrading/codemods#remove-experimental_ppr-route-segment-config-from-app-router-pages-and-layouts) is available. |
| `v15.0.0-RC` | `export const runtime = "experimental-edge"` deprecated. A [codemod](/docs/app/guides/upgrading/codemods#transform-app-router-route-segment-config-runtime-value-from-experimental-edge-to-edge) is available. |
