🚀 Just completed a major upgrade of my Next.js + GraphQL project! Here's what's new:

✨ Upgraded to Next.js 16

  • Migrated from middleware.ts to proxy.ts (Next.js 16 requirement)
  • Leveraging Turbopack as the default bundler for faster builds
  • Automatic React Compiler integration for optimized performance
  • Enhanced routing with layout deduplication and incremental prefetching

🔗 Apollo Client v4 Migration

  • Upgraded from Apollo Client 3.14 to 4.0.9
  • Replaced deprecated experimental package with official @apollo/client-integration-nextjs
  • Improved type safety and better Next.js App Router support
  • All deprecation warnings resolved

🛠️ Additional Improvements

  • Updated all dependencies to latest stable versions
  • Improved Prisma client configuration with conditional Accelerate support
  • Enhanced error handling and logging
  • Better TypeScript type definitions throughout

The project is now running on:

  • Next.js 16.0.3
  • React 19.2.0
  • Apollo Client 4.0.9

🔧 Technical Deep-Dive: Next.js 16 & Apollo Client v4 Migration

Just completed a comprehensive upgrade of my Next.js + GraphQL quickstart project. Here's the technical breakdown:

Next.js 16 Migration:

  • Replaced deprecated middleware.ts with proxy.ts (runs on Node.js runtime)
  • Removed experimental Turbopack config (now default)
  • Leveraging automatic React Compiler for memoization
  • Enhanced routing with layout deduplication

Apollo Client v4 Upgrade:

  • Migrated from @apollo/experimental-nextjs-app-support to official @apollo/client-integration-nextjs
  • Replaced NextSSRApolloClient with standard ApolloClient
  • Updated React hooks imports to @apollo/client/react
  • Improved type safety with proper TypeScript interfaces

Infrastructure:

  • Prisma client with conditional Accelerate support
  • Better error handling and logging configuration
  • All packages updated to latest stable versions

The migration was smooth with comprehensive type checking and zero runtime errors. The project now benefits from:

  • Faster build times (Turbopack)
  • Better performance (React Compiler)
  • Improved type safety
  • Future-proof architecture
