Catalyst Core Updates: Next.js 16 Proxy Architecture

Updates to the Catalyst Core course bring lesson content in line with Catalyst’s Next.js 16 proxy architecture and Node.js 24 baseline.

  • Proxy terminology — renames “Custom URL Middleware” to “Custom URL Proxy” across the architecture and expanded modules to match Next.js 16 conventions
  • File path references — replaces middlewares/ paths with proxies/ (proxies/with-routes.ts, proxies/with-auth.ts, proxies/with-intl.ts) and updates the middleware.ts entry point reference to compose-proxies.ts
  • Performance lesson — updates the Node.js minimum version to 24 and expands the out-of-the-box features content
  • Documentation links — updates Next.js documentation links from version 15 to version 16 throughout the course
  • Lab updates - updates labs to Catalyst 1.6.3

For details, see the Catalyst Core course.
