NextJS is pretty much the go-to for making decent webapps, check out KeystoneJS if you want to make a custom CMS.

Thanks, but that doesn't address my question.

Let me rephrase: Is NextJS a full back-end, or is it only for presentation? Would you use it in combination with something like Deno, or instead of it?

Next.js won't require a Deno backend. You can define backend data fetches [0] along with the UI Pages and routes for an API [1].

Of course the NextJS application could call out to a Deno backend as well, but the external app is not required.

Thanks!
