It depends on your app. If your API is complex, I recommend not to use Next JS. But before building project its a good idea to build a MVP. It helps you to understand what is missing, what should be added & how should be its build.

I suggest using Next JS API for your MVP. If it help you to get what you want, Then use it. You can switch from Next Js API to custom NodeJS-express server whenever you want.

If you explain what is your app & how is your API, maybe we can help you by giving right info.

Good luck with the project mate 👍
