Optimize Next.js Builds for production + my secret project
|
Hey friend, I've been heads down building this thing for months, and I'm both nervous and *stoked* to finally share it with you. It is The Modern Full Stack Next.js Course which is dropping on November 25th π₯. It is a course that teaches you to build and deploy production-ready Next.js apps. Less than 10 days to go, WILD !! π¬ Look, I know there are tons of courses out there, but I wanted to do something different. I actually built my own *custom course platform* from scratch because, well, I'm picky about how I teach and want to give you the best learning experience π
But wait, Why Full Stack? I think the world has truly shifted towards full stack developers. The whole "I'm just a frontend dev" or "I only do backend" thing? It's becoming less and less relevant. So, knowing the big picture can truly make a difference in your career. Oh! One more thing, π¨ I'll be sharing exclusive bonus Next.js content to the Waitlist that I don't share anywhere else. I'd definitely recommend you to join the waitlist just so you don't miss out.

Hey Reader, Middleware got renamed to Proxy in Next.js 16. Same functionality. Better name. What is Proxy? Every request to your app has to go somewhere - a page, an API route, a file. Proxy gets to look at it first and decide what happens: send the user somewhere else, serve different content silently, or just let it through as-is. Think of it as a traffic controller π¦ sitting in front of your routes. So, why you should stop putting auth in Proxy? It feels like the perfect place but it...
