Dependencies used inside [Server Components](/docs/app/building-your-application/rendering/server-components) and [Route Handlers](/docs/app/building-your-application/routing/route-handlers) will automatically be bundled by Next.js.

If a dependency is using Node.js specific features, you can choose to opt-out specific dependencies from the Server Components bundling and use native Node.js `require`.

```js title="next.config.js"
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    serverComponentsExternalPackages: ['@acme/ui'],
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```
