Full-Stack React in Action: Build and Deploy Production-Ready Apps with Next.js and Redux Toolkit

Ready to bridge the gap between being a React developer and becoming a confident, in-demand full-stack architect?
The modern web is no longer neatly divided between front-end and back-end. To build truly high-performance, scalable, and feature-rich applications, you need a holistic understanding of the entire stack. This book is your hands-on, project-based guide to mastering that modern full-stack mindset. It cuts through the noise and theory to give you the practical skills needed to build and deploy professional-grade applications with today's most powerful technologies.
Forget disjointed tutorials. In Full-Stack React in Action, you will embark on a single, ambitious journey: building a complete, production-ready e-commerce application from scratch. From the first line of code to the final deployment, every chapter builds upon the last, creating a cohesive and deeply integrated learning experience.
What You'll Master Inside:

• Modern Next.js Architecture: Go beyond the basics and master the App Router, Server Components, advanced rendering strategies (SSG, SSR, ISR), and file-based routing.

• Robust Back-End APIs: Learn to build your own secure, RESTful APIs from scratch using Next.js Route Handlers, complete with server-side validation using Zod.

• Type-Safe Database Integration: Define, migrate, and interact with a production-grade PostgreSQL database using Prisma, the next-generation, type-safe ORM.

• Scalable State Management: Tame complex global state with Redux Toolkit, implementing a persistent shopping cart and leveraging RTK Query for automated server-cache management.

• Professional Authentication: Implement a complete, secure authentication system with NextAuth.js, including both social logins (OAuth) and traditional email/password credentials.

• Secure Payment Processing: Integrate Stripe to handle real-world payments, building a secure checkout flow and confirming orders with webhooks.

• A Complete DevOps Workflow: Learn to write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests with Jest and Playwright, and deploy your application with zero downtime using GitHub Actions and Vercel.

This book is more than just a guide to a tech stack; it's a masterclass in modern web architecture. You'll learn not just the "how" but the crucial "why" behind the patterns used by professional developers and leading tech companies. By the end, you won't just have a collection of skills—you'll have a portfolio-worthy project and the confidence to design, build, and deploy your own ambitious full-stack applications.
This book is for intermediate React developers who are comfortable with component basics but are ready to level up their skills, take ownership of the entire development lifecycle, and become the versatile, full-stack engineers that today's market demands.
