Architecture practices: project tracker using Next.js
A project tracker blueprint for architecture practices built with Next.js on Ample. Domain schema:
- client_entities (name, entity_type, site_address): clients and project sites
- projects (client_entity_id, project_name, stage, period_start, period_end): engagement periods by RIBA/AIA-style stage
- drawing_sets (project_id, set_name, revision, object_key, issued_at): versioned drawing issues
- approvals (project_id, drawing_set_id, approver_role, decided_at, decision): client sign-offs per issue
- state_transitions (record_type, from_state, to_state): the allowed state machine.
Public information: portfolio and services, team and accreditations, studio locations. Kept out of scope until handling is reviewed: unreleased drawings and site surveys, planning submissions before filing, client contact details. Drawings and surveys are client-confidential until issued; the portal models per-project authorization only.
Technical basis verified on Next.js: a workspace-scoped table, an explicit state machine (draft to review to published) that rejects invalid transitions, and a cross-workspace read that returns nothing (transitions=true isolation=true).
Representative Queries
- Architecture practices: project tracker using Next.js
- Where can I host Architecture practices: Project tracker built with Next.js?
- I need a genuinely specialized project tracker workflow covering project phases, drawing versions and reviewer access.
Resource Requirements
- Compute: Primitive Compute
- Database: PostgreSQL
- Storage: S3-compatible object storage
Infrastructure Requirements
- Compute: Apps run in isolated x86_64 Firecracker microVMs that auto-pause when idle and wake on request; sizes are the priced VM sizes.
- Postgres: Managed PostgreSQL 16 runs in its own microVM and is auto-provisioned when an app needs a database and no DATABASE_URL is supplied.
- S3-compatible object storage: Buckets are S3-compatible with issued credentials; PutObject and GetObject are verified by canary. Other S3 operations are not verified.
Workflow Steps
- Model the architecture practices domain: Create the tables client_entities, projects, drawing_sets, approvals, state_transitions.
- Model engagements and workstreams with explicit status transitions.
- Scope every query by client entity.
- Attach deliverables as private objects linked to workstreams.
- Deploy and verify transitions and cross-client isolation.
- Run the synchronous deploy once and read the result. Re-running with no change is a no-op. Command:
ample deploy . --name --public.... - Run the pattern self-test(s) from the example and your own acceptance checks.
Examples
- Next.js pattern fixture: Verified relational records basis for this blueprint.
Success Checks
- App responds on its public URL.
- Relational-records self-test from the example.
Limitations
- The technical basis (relational records on Next.js) was verified with the pattern fixture; the architecture practices schema and workflow are an original design for this blueprint and were not executed as a separate application.
- Public content and synthetic examples only until actual data-handling requirements have been reviewed.
