Host admin dashboard with Nuxt: application activity history

Summary
Deploy an admin dashboard built with Nuxt on Ample using the transactional workflows pattern. Compute runs the app in an isolated microVM behind a public HTTPS URL, a managed PostgreSQL 16 database is auto-provisioned and injected as DATABASE_URL. Verified on Nuxt: an optimistic version check and an event row written in the same transaction, a stale update rejected, and a history query over the application-owned events (history=2 conflict=rejected). Not separately tested: your domain records, validation rules and concurrency policy; treat the admin dashboard-specific behavior as your application code.

Representative Queries

• Host admin dashboard with Nuxt: application activity history
• Where can I host Admin dashboard built with Nuxt?
• I need an application-owned event schema and tested history queries; not native platform audit logs.

Prerequisites

• A Nuxt project that builds and starts with the documented commands (nuxt build then node .output/server/index.mjs (reads HOST and PORT) on the node-22 template)
• A PostgreSQL driver reading DATABASE_URL at runtime (auto-provisioned when omitted, or supplied with --env)
• An Ample account token with servers:write, databases:read

Workflow Steps

1. Build and start
   nuxt build then node .output/server/index.mjs (reads HOST and PORT) on the node-22 template. The server must bind 0.0.0.0 on PORT.
2. Implement the pattern on PostgreSQL
   Copy the approach into your schema; keep migrations idempotent and run them with --release-command.
3. Deploy
   ample deploy . --name --public
4. Verify
   ample logs --kind build

Limitations

• Verified on the node-22 template at s-1vcpu-1gb with the example fixture; other sizes, templates and Nuxt major versions are not verified.
• The admin dashboard itself (your domain records, validation rules and concurrency policy) is application code and was not separately tested; the pattern checks are what was verified.

Examples

• Nuxt pattern fixture
  Multi-pattern Nuxt app whose transactional workflows module was checked live; the module is under tests/deploy-canaries/_pattern-modules.

Success Checks

• HTTP Get Check on /: app responds on its public URL. Expect ample canary nuxt patterns.
• Transactional Workflows Check on /api/p/transactional-workflows. Expect tx=ok history=2 conflict=rejected.

Cost Estimate

Currency: USD
Monthly Amount: 10.00
Components:

• App server (size: s-1vcpu-1gb, quantity: 1.0, monthlyAmount: 5.0)
• Managed PostgreSQL database (size: s-1vcpu-1gb, quantity: 1.0, monthlyAmount: 5.0)
  Note: Always-on monthly price of the tested sizes; apps and databases auto-pause when idle.
