How to Structure a Modern Blog with Next.js and NestJS

Split frontend and API

Keep the marketing site and docs in Next.js. Put auth, CRUD, and business rules in NestJS. Talk over HTTPS with withCredentials cookies.

Why this helps SEO

Next.js App Router can render note and blog pages on the server with proper generateMetadata titles and descriptions.

1. Publish content as HTML from a rich text editor
2. Store metaTitle and metaDescription
3. Expose clean slug URLs like /blogs/your-slug

Admin publishing flow

Admins draft in TipTap, preview locally, then set status to PUBLISHED. Users consume content; they do not create posts.
