Four months working with NextJS my experience
I don’t like to use sockets on nextjs, just looking at the integration page of socket.io (How to use with Next.js | Socket.IO) feel so weird for me, also combining the fact that the developer server is just a nightmare, I prefer to avoid everything related to websockets and nextjs at least for the moment.

WebSockets and Node.js - testing WS and SockJS by building a web app
SockJS is a library that mimics the native WebSockets API. Additionally, it will fall back to HTTP whenever a WebSocket fails to connect, or if the browser being used doesn’t support WebSockets. Like WS, SockJS requires a server counterpart; its maintainers provide both a JavaScript client library and a Node.js server library.
