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.

This article walks through building a fully type-safe internationalization setup in a Next.js 15 app using next-intl. It covers organizing translations into feature-based namespaces, generating type declarations from the default locale, and enforcing type safety with tools like ICU MessageFormat. The setup includes automatic locale detection, developer-friendly features like inline translation previews via the i18n-ally extension, and a script to keep translation keys sorted. The goal is to reduce human error, enhance the developer experience, and ensure robust multilingual support with minimal friction.

In Ember.js, instead of using React's refs, the “did-insert” modifier provides access to native HTML elements. To achieve similar functionality as React 's “useImperativeHandle”, you can pass a “ref” argument to a child component and call it in the constructor, allowing the parent component to access public methods of the child. This approach ensures controlled exposure of methods and properties, maintaining encapsulation.
