A few valid examples of this that people are building right now are the following:

• Next.js - https://github.com/solana-developers/solana-actions/tree/main/examples/next-js
• Express.js - https://github.com/solana-developers/solana-actions/tree/main/examples/express
• Python - https://github.com/xeroc/python-solana-actions
• Axum - https://github.com/solana-developers/solana-actions/tree/main/examples/axum </aside>

The structure of the project is usually as follows:

Following this we will create an app route inside the app directory of the next.js app. The way I have created my app directory is this:
