Using `next start` with `target` not set to `server`

Why This Error Occurred​

Next.js can only handle running a server when the target is set to server (this is the default value). A serverless build, for instance, has no handler for requests–this is usually implemented by a hosting provider.

Possible Ways to Fix It​

Use a different handler than next start when testing a serverless production build, otherwise use next dev.
