The best way to structure Next.js App Router projects for SaaS apps involves prioritizing server components, applying defined routing conventions, and implementing efficient data fetching strategies to ensure scalable architecture.

Using server components and data fetching in Next.js 13+ requires adopting a server-first architecture that documents component boundaries, caching behaviors, and specific fetching strategies to optimize application performance.

You should use client components instead of server components in Next.js when specific UI interactions demand client-side rendering, carefully documenting these boundaries within your server-first architecture to maintain performance.

Routing patterns for scalable Next.js dashboards utilize App Router conventions to separate data fetching logic from UI rendering, applying documented API patterns to build consistent and performant dashboard architectures.

Yes, this Next.js architecture guidance applies directly to marketing sites and content-driven applications, providing consistent routing conventions and performance practices tailored for these specific use cases.
