Next.js: Node.js middleware on Netlify?

[paulmckee]

With support for Node.js middleware now being stable in Next.js v15.5, I'm wondering when we might see support for that on Netlify?

At present, trying to deploy a Next.js project that uses Node.js middleware gives this error message:

Error: Node.js middleware is not yet supported.

Future @netlify/plugin-nextjs release will support node middleware with following limitations:

usage of C++ Addons (https://nodejs.org/api/addons.html) not supported (for example bcrypt npm module will not be supported, but bcryptjs will be supported),
usage of Filesystem (https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html) not supported.

Hopefully it's something that Netlify's architecture will be able to accommodate eventually!

Thanks,
Paul

Hi @paulmckee, thanks for reaching out.

Quite soon! We're working on it as we speak: #3018.

Would you be interested in taking it for a spin when it's ready?

Yes, please!

Hi @paulmckee

We released support for Node Middleware today - https://github.com/opennextjs/opennextjs-netlify/releases/tag/v5.13.0 , so if you are still interested in it - now it is ready to take it for a spin :)
