wdym by bootstrap/startup code

are you trying to deploy nextjs with docker or what

app is deployed, container is started, the app starts up and
- should validate dynamic configuration from process.env
- initiate db/service connections
- do some basic readiness/liveness checks

the whole container is also monitored by k8s , so a health check endpoint might be useful

also I need to implement some backgroud tasks
e.g. user triggers action from frontend which should send email
email service is down, but the user should not be bothered
the email sending/retrying should be a background task, so I need persistence (postgres or something) and a way to execut this "check email tasks" logic independent from browser requests

of course the k8s thingy probes the application anyway, so maybe I can use this to trigger some job logic

well yes that's what I meant with the title, the app is running as a container using k8s

also I need to implement some backgroud tasks

you can use cronjob for that, i think its the node-cron package

I have now written some useConfig wrapper function that allows me to lazily parse configuration once, but it's just one issue solved 😄

looks like u need some type of webhook or similar that will be called on your Docker startup

and have that power your services

or restart them

sounds good , will try that. I hope it kicks of automatically or at least once k8s probes the nextjs http server

is there no "run this on startup" instead of "run this on request" type of thing in nextjs?

I guess I can hack something together, just wondering if I miss something (very fresh with nextjs, but used to react and sveltekit)

i dont think so but if u have experience with k8s it should be a matter of seconds to setup cron / webhooks or similar
