Shipping a full-stack app with Next.js and NestJS

When I start a new product, the first thing I lock down is the contract between the frontend and the backend. A clear API shape lets both sides move in parallel.

On the frontend I lean on Next.js server components for data that rarely changes, and client components only where interactivity truly needs them. On the backend, NestJS modules keep each domain isolated and testable.

TypeORM ties it together — entities model the data once, and migrations keep every environment in sync. The result is a codebase where a new feature touches predictable places.
