Partial rewrites using nginx
Anyone here familiar with doing partial rewrites using nginx?
I have a setup with three containers:
- nginx
- legacy app (lives at www.example.com)
- new Next.js app
Requests to
www.example.com/new-feature should use the Next.js app
When the Next.js app makes a request to www.example.com/new-feature/endpoint, this should be handled by the legacy app.
I'd also like for the legacy app's cookie based auth to work in the Next.js app.
I'm sure someone has written a comprehensive article on this before, I just can't seem to figure out what to google for to find it.7 Replies

i'm trying to get buyin on a partial next.js rewrite, buyin on replacing nginx is almost certainly not realistic 😦

oh like use nginx rewrites to get requests from legacy to next, and next rewrites to get stuff from next back to legacy?

is it feasible to have
/hew-feature/some-page on next.js and /new-feature/api/get-something on the legacy app this way?
i guess i could just call them different things to save myself some headacheUnknown User•3y ago
