The idea behind the example

This example demostrate how you can use pkg to create a binary version of a Next.js application.

To do it we need to create at least a super simple custom server that allow us to run node server.js instead of next or next start. We also need to create a index.js that works as the entry point for pkg, in that file we force to set NODE_ENV as production.
