Authentication Recommendation for Next.JS

I'm planning out my next app. Does anybody have recommendations on handling authentication with Next.JS? I was thinking of doing JWT with a back-end API in Node or Python. I know you could also can handle it with Auth0 or Firebase, or something equivalent. Any past experience or feedback would be greatly appreciated!

From my experience, integrating Auth0 with Next.js is quite easy, so that's what I would recommend.

I would highly recommend trying out Firebase Authentication. It's really easy to get started with, has a very generous free tier, and integrates with basically any third-party provider you might want.
