Build a Shopping App With Next.js + NestJS & Prisma

In this course, you will learn how to create a modern application using Next.js with the new App Directory architecture. We will develop a fully functional Shopping App and thoroughly explore all the key principles of building modern Next.js applications. We will also connect a backend using NestJS and implement data storage with Prisma ORM.

This architectural approach allows us to combine the high performance and security of Next.js through server-side rendering with a clean and scalable backend using NestJS. Along the way, we will create a working online store application, integrated with Stripe for payment processing, and practically learn how to develop and deploy a comprehensive full-stack web application to production.

Additionally, we will cover the process of deploying to production using AWS and Vercel, set up continuous delivery (CI/CD), and deploy the application on a real domain. This will ensure automatic building and publication with each commit—without manual actions.

The entire project will be secured with JWT-based authentication so that only authorized users have access to the application. We will also implement real-time updates (WebSockets)—users will receive instant notifications when items are added or purchased. For this, we will use Stripe Webhooks.

By the end of the course, you will have created a fully functional application and gone through all the main sections of the Next.js documentation in practice. The knowledge gained will allow you to confidently develop your own modern full-stack applications from scratch to production.
