Modern digital platforms rarely operate in isolation. Whether you're aggregating service providers, products, or user-generated content, chances are your application depends on external APIs to stay current. In this post, we'll walk through a practical pattern: using a Next.js application to consume an API of active providers and automatically create corresponding items in Sitecore XM Cloud.

I am planning a multi-part blog series that explores best practices, architecture, and implementation strategies for integrating and synchronizing provider data from a third-party API into Sitecore XM Cloud using a Next.js application.

Scaling 1,000+ Item Syncs to Sitecore XM Cloud with p-limit in Next.js

Modern web apps - especially those built with Next.js - often need to sync large datasets from external APIs into a CMS like Sitecore XM Cloud. The challenge? Doing it fast enough to be useful, but safely enough to avoid throttling, timeouts, or partial failures.
