Custom Express Server example
NOTE: this app forked from: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/custom-server-express
server.js file updated.
since we are using middleware, including hostname and port in this line:
// when using middleware hostname and port must be provided below
const app = next({ dev: ENVIRONMENT === 'development', hostname, port: PORT })
this example app deployed to Vercel here:
https://custom-server-express-nine.vercel.app/
note the above is app is a production environment.

README from Next.js below:
Most of the time the default Next.js server will be enough but there are times you'll want to run your own server to integrate into an existing application. Next.js provides a custom server api.
Because the Next.js server is a Node.js module you can combine it with any other part of the Node.js ecosystem. In this case we are using express.
