SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Next.js projects often diverge in structure and conventions, leading to maintenance headaches and inconsistent routing, data-fetching, and optimization practices. This guide consolidates core conventions and best practices to align teams on a stable foundation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • File conventions for project layout, route segments, special files, and static assets.
  • Server Component boundaries and data patterns to minimize CSR waterfalls and improve reliability.
  • Async API patterns, route handlers, and server actions for robust data flows.
  • Metadata strategies, Open Graph image handling, and image/font optimization for SEO and performance.
  • Bundling considerations, debugging tips, and deployment best practices.

Quick Start

Start by auditing your project against the listed conventions and progressively apply the guidelines to new routes and components.
