which one should prefer ?
currently I am using app structure, and default server not express server.

I'd recommend using nextjs primarily, then use express if needed for the computationally heavy tasks

@earnest gorge use the nextjs server for basic crud operations
earnest gorge
you mean, no need to use express
obsidian harbor
as your scale increases, you might need things like cron jobs etc.. this is when you shift to express

makes sense?

pretty much, next is good for most of what you'll need
earnest gorge
pretty much, next is good for most of what you'll need
what about file structure, is this ok. without src folder
I am using app structure with next routing, not custom
earnest gorge

lib folder is for backend, I mean schema and backend (database)
api is for api routing

obsidian harbor

yup, its not in that project

@obsidian harbor @winter echo guys thanks for reply 🙏
I was really confused which one to follow but now its clear
I can follow this folder structure in every project
obsidian harbor
No worries, remember nextjs dosent really care about your structure (most of the time)
so you can get creative with it
thats just what i use + most agree with
with nextjs, spend less time planning, and more time building :D
earnest gorge
I recently started to build projects in Next.js cause its good for SEO and other things which react js is not providing. and also I am seeing it, its very good than react.
but need to learn new things
earnest gorge

yeah
that's true, no need to make routing, just create folders and that's it
