Next Micro

An HTTP router, reverse-proxy and process manager for composing Next.js microservices.

Next Micro launches a reverse-proxy that becomes the entry point via which all underlying services are accessed. When a route is hit Next Micro will launch the responsible service automatically then, to help manage resources, close it down after a specified time to live (TTL).

The available routes for each Next.js service are determined by parsing the file system. Any additional routes can be specified directly in the configuration file, as can any supplementary non Next.js services.

Getting Started

Given a monorepo containing multiple Next.js microservices the easiest way to get started is to install Next Micro in the root of the monorepo:

npm install next-micro -D

Add the following section to your package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "nextmicro dev",
  }
}

And run:

yarn dev

The proxy should now be up and running at http://127.0.0.1:3000.

When we make requests to this address traffic will be routed to the Next.js service that handles that route. If the service is not running it will be launched automatically.
