fastify-rate-limit VS fastify-nextjs

fastify-rate-limit is a plugin for the Fastify web framework that provides an easy-to-use interface for implementing rate limiting in your Node.js applications. The plugin lets you specify the maximum number of requests a client can make within a specific timeframe and the response to send when this limit is exceeded.

We can do it by our own, but i'll use for now Fastify-rate-limit plugin to achieve this easily.

I like fastify more than express due to the great opinions (json schema, hooks etc). I use fastify + the fastify-nextjs plugin. It works great and lets you expose custom request decorations from node.js to next.js.

Maybe this can help you too: https://github.com/fastify/fastify-nextjs

The only drawback is the slow startup time of next.js, which becomes really annoying with huge next.js projects. But for smaller projects, fastify-nextjs is fine.
