NextJS on Pantheon

About This Starter

This is a production-ready starter kit that demonstrates the seamless integration between Drupal 11 and Next.js 16. Built with modern best practices, it provides a solid foundation for headless CMS applications with features like dynamic menu integration, content management, and responsive design.

It’s also a demonstration of running a decoupled stack on Pantheon: the Drupal backend and the Next.js frontend are managed together with one WebOps workflow — GitHub-driven deploys, Multidev preview environments, the Dev → Test → Live pipeline, and a Global CDN — on Pantheon’s managed Next.js hosting.

The stack includes TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, JSON:API integration, and automated deployment workflows. Perfect for developers looking to build scalable, performant web applications with a decoupled architecture that leverages Drupal’s content management capabilities with Next.js’s modern frontend framework.
