Developing Next.js microservices with Nx

As organizations expand, their software needs become more complex, and adopting microservices can help manage this complexity by splitting software into manageable, autonomous units. Monorepos, which store multiple applications within a single Git repository, are a useful structure for organizations at a critical growth stage, enabling code sharing and simplifying the management of numerous applications and APIs. Nx is a development framework that enhances the monorepo experience by offering tools for task orchestration, caching, and dependency analysis, and it is particularly effective for building multiple Next.js applications within a monorepo. Despite potential drawbacks like longer build times, Nx supports creating shared components and APIs, facilitating efficient and maintainable development practices. An example project illustrates how Nx can streamline development by enabling the creation of consistent authentication across multiple applications, demonstrating its potential for organizations aiming for scalable and sustainable software solutions.
