Any reason to handle auth at next.js over handling at backend Why can’t we just create the auth session directly on the api server ( by integrating auth0 with your api server) , and have browser sends the 🍪 automatically?


In other words, Next.js works as frontend framework. Authentication session is created at api/backend server (api.website.com) , and browser sends the cookies to identify the session automatically as that’s login response cookies are set on that domain
