Write e2e Tests for our Next.js Application with Nx and Cypress

Nx promotes best practices by automatically generating Cypress based e2e tests for all applications inside an Nx monorepo workspace. Not only does Nx take away the burden of configuring Cypress, but it also allows to easily serve Cypress in "watch" or headless mode. The latter is particularly useful to also run in your CI pipeline. When you run Cypress test with Nx, it automatically makes sure to first launch the tested application, then run Cypress and point it to the running application.
