In my previous blog, I explained how to deploy an existing project to the XM Cloud portal. Now, in this blog, we will connect the Next.js application directly to the XM cloud application through the Experience Edge endpoint.
Prerequisites:
- You must have one Organization account in Sitecore portal (https://portal.sitecorecloud.io/ ) which has access to XMCloud. And your account should be associated with that Organization account with admin access.
- Install .Net SDK 6.0 or higher and runtime.
