Proposed article introduction

Introduction

What is Next.js?

Next.js is an open-source web development framework built on top of Node.js that extends the capabilities of React.js framework-based functionalities such as server-side rendering and generating static websites.

The concept of Backend-as-a-service (Baas)

Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) empowers a developer to focus on other areas of development such as frontend and UI/UX of their applications and use backend service without developing and maintaining them. Some baas projects you should check out are firebase, appwrite, and (supabase)[https://supabase.io/]. The B-a-a-s we are going to use is supabase.

Supabase as they describe themselves is an open-source firebase alternative. This is a backend service that provides functionalities such as authentication, storage, database, and soon-to-launch functions.

Supabase authentication feature is fully-resourced with social logins, user management, and Build Authorization rules with Postgres' Row Level Security.

Prerequisites

To make the most of this tutorial, you will need:

1. Latest version of Node.js installed.

Now let us navigate into the following directory.

cd web-project

Next, let us set up a supabase project.

1. Go to supabase.io

2. Create an account using a Github profile

3. Go ahead and create a project by filling in all the required fields.

4. Let us install supabase locally using the following command.

npm install @supabase/supabase-js

Key takeaways

1. Getting started with Next.js

2. Setting up Supabase project.

3. Linking your supabase project and next.js application.

4. Deploying your application on Vercel.
