no next js provides us an ability to write the backend in /src/app/api/ it also does the same as an express concept, but the syntax is little different

well it depends
ofc as Next.js is a full stack framework, you can use Next.js for frontend & backend
but sometimes they have their own backend server and just use next.js apis as a proxy
@West African Lion where are you planning to deploy your project to?

I see, then no problem. just go with Next.js for frontend & backend

Nice advice brother if we separate our backend from next js which is the best deployment
