The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W
The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is a small yet remarkably powerful single-board computer, perfectly suited for projects requiring a compact form factor with minimal energy consumption. Powered by a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor and equipped with 512MB of RAM, the Pi Zero 2 W also boasts built-in wireless connectivity, making it a versatile tool for a variety of applications.
The need for an upgrade
Initially, I was running a Next.js server on the original Raspberry Pi Zero. However, I encountered limitations due to the maximum supported version of Node.js on that hardware. These constraints led to performance bottlenecks and compatibility issues, particularly as newer versions of Node.js were required for the project.
