#Open to #discussion for all #frontend #web #developers out there. What are the advantages of using #Nextjs if you already use an external custom api ? The power of nextjs comes from the fact that it is a full stack framework with no need for any other technologies. However, if you have to use the company's legacy backend, nextjs will be just a normal frontend framework. What do you think? #code #backend #frontend #react #programming

You can still leverage Nextjs API routes alongside your legacy backend to add an additional layer of obfuscation and control over the data flow. By having your front end call a Next.js API route (/api/my-custom-route), you can mask your backend API and introduce some server-side logic, validation, etc. on the Next.js layer itself, reducing some of the load on your legacy backend and enhancing security.
