This article offers a practical roadmap for gradually migrating a legacy front-end app to Next.js without disrupting product development. It emphasizes phased adoption using reverse proxies, shared component libraries, and clear ownership models to ensure stability and scalability. A proof of concept is recommended to validate routing, auth, state management, and developer workflows—enabling teams to modernize confidently while maintaining momentum.

Scaling a Next.js application requires more than just writing good code—it demands a modular, future-proof architecture. This article introduces a three-layer monorepo structure that separates applications, shared packages, and self-contained features. The result is a system that supports team autonomy, reduces duplication, simplifies deployments, and stays maintainable as complexity grows. Whether you're starting fresh or evolving an existing codebase, this approach offers a clear path to building scalable, high-performing front-end systems.
