Build a Shopping App With Next.js + NestJS & Prisma

This course will teach you how to build a modern Next.js app using the latest App directory approach. We will build a shopping app and learn all the core fundamentals of building a modern Next.js app. We will also connect the app to a NestJS backend and store data using Prisma ORM.

This architecture allows us to take advantage of the amazing performance & security features of Next.js with server-side rendering while still maintaining a clean scaleable backend using NestJS. By building a real working shopping app integrated with Stripe to accept payments we will go beyond the documentation & learn what it takes to build and deploy a full-stack web application to production.

Additionally, we will cover production deployment using AWS & Vercel to implement a continuous delivery pipeline and expose our application to the internet on a real working domain. This will ensure the app is automatically built & deployed with every commit without us having to do a thing.

The entire project will be protected with industry-standard JWT authentication so only authenticated users can access our application. We will utilize WebSockets to receive real-time updates from our backend whenever a new product is added or purchased. This will be facilitated with the usage of Stripe webhooks.

By the end of the course, we’ll have gone through the bulk of the Next.js documentation by building a real working app. You’ll be able to apply what you’ve learned to build your own modern full-stack app.
