reviewing-nextjs-16-patterns

Security review for Next.js 16 focuses on Server Actions authentication, middleware security, and server component data access patterns. Audit these areas to identify CVE risks, improper access controls, and data exposure before deployment.

Next.js 16 caching includes use cache directives, cacheLife settings, and revalidation strategies for App Router and server components. Apply these patterns during code review to ensure consistent cache behavior and long-term maintainability across your application.

Migration readiness checks evaluate breaking changes, route handler compatibility, generateStaticParams correctness, and revalidation alignment with Next.js 16 standards. Run these checks during planning to identify gaps before upgrading production code.

Yes, this review targets compliance audits by systematically evaluating security, caching directives, and migration alignment across Next.js 16 codebases. Use it to document violations, gaps, and remediation steps for standards-based assessments.

Next.js 16 breaking changes include shifts in caching behavior, Server Actions patterns, middleware execution, and static generation. The review identifies these shifts in your existing code to prevent runtime errors after migration.
