Overview

The @fastify/nextjs plugin brings the power of Next.js to Fastify, allowing developers to harness the benefits of React server-side rendering while utilizing Fastify’s performance and flexibility. This integration is especially beneficial for existing Fastify servers that want to implement Next.js features without replacing the internal web server of Next.js. The plugin manages assets, routes, and other essential components seamlessly, making it a valuable tool for those looking to create dynamic web applications.

Features

• React Server-Side Rendering Support: Effortlessly use Next.js for server-side rendering on your existing Fastify server, enhancing the performance of your applications.

• Flexible Custom Options: Pass custom configurations directly to the Next.js setup through the plugin, tailoring its functionality to your specific needs.

• Error Handling Capabilities: The plugin provides methods like reply.nextRenderError to easily render Next.js error pages, improving user experience during issues.

• Asset Management: Automatically handles the serving of static assets through defined routes, with options to customize preprocessing as needed.

• Under-pressure Integration: Includes tools to monitor server load and implement a circuit breaker, ensuring that clients receive timely error messages during high load situations.
