npm install @sentry/nextjs
npx @sentry/wizard -i nextjsCreate src/app/error.tsx:
'use client'
export default function Error({
error,
reset,
}: {
error: Error
reset: () => void
}) {
return (
<div className="min-h-screen flex items-center justify-center">

<button onClick={reset} className="btn btn-primary">

</button>
</div>
</div>
)
}Never commit .env to git:
echo ".env" >> .gitignoreImplement rate limiting for all public APIs:
import { rateLimit } from '@/lib/rate-limit'
export async function POST(req: NextRequest) {
const ip = req.headers.get('x-forwarded-for') || 'unknown'
const limited = await rateLimit(ip, 100) // 100 requests per minute
if (limited) {
return NextResponse.json({ error: 'Too many requests' }, { status: 429 })
}
// Handle request
}Always validate inputs with Zod:
import { z } from 'zod'
const schema = z.object({
name: z.string().min(1).max(100),
email: z.string().email(),
})
const validated = schema.parse(body)Use parameterized queries (MongoDB is safe by default)
// next.config.js
module.exports = {
async headers() {
return [
{
source: '/api/:path*',
headers: [
{ key: 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin', value: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL },
{ key: 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods', value: 'GET,POST,PUT,DELETE,OPTIONS' },
{ key: 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers', value: 'Content-Type, Authorization' },
],
