Build an Ecommerce Admin Dashboard with Next.js

Welcome back, notJust developers! In this part of our ecommerce app series, we’re diving into the creation of a powerful admin dashboard using Next.js. This dashboard will enable the management of products and orders, rounding out the backend we built with NodeJS, Express, Drizzle ORM, and Postgres in the first tutorial and connecting with the mobile UI created in part two.

By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a complete web-based tool that allows admins to manage their ecommerce store’s inventory, customer orders, and more. Whether you're new to Next.js or looking to improve your full-stack development skills, this project will definitely add to your backend and frontend knowledge.
