Which platform do you think is best for deploying this combination?
Would appreciate answers as soon as possible.

my suggestion:

Simple, fast, great DX use Vercel (Next.js) + Railway (NestJS)
One-click full-stack use Railway (monorepo)
Flexible deployment use Render

You can deploy a full-stack Next.js + NestJS app by hosting them separately and connecting via API.

Frontend (Next.js):

• Deploy on Vercel (best for Next.js apps)
• Set environment variables pointing to your backend (e.g., NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=https://api.example.com)

Backend (NestJS):

• Deploy on services like Render, Railway, Heroku, or your own VPS
• Enable CORS to allow requests from your frontend domain

Optional:

• Use a reverse proxy like Nginx or use Docker Compose if self-hosting
• For monorepos, check out Turborepo + Vercel + separate API deployment

Let me know if you need help with a specific platform!
