Using Athena Express with NextJS

[AvidDabbler]

I am transferring a node js app over to NextJS and I keep getting this error when I make queries to the API endpoint. It seems like there is an issue with Next trying to update the header information.

Any thoughts on how I might be able to fix this issue?

error - Error [ERR_HTTP_HEADERS_SENT]: Cannot set headers after they are sent to the client
