# Host campaign site with Next.js: bulk content imports

Deploy a campaign site built with Next.js on Ample using the bulk import staging 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, a private S3-compatible bucket holds objects with credentials delivered as encrypted environment variables. Verified on Next.js: a CSV staged as an object, row-level validation with per-row errors recorded, and a restart-safe import keyed by import id (imported=2 rejected=1 restart=ok). Not separately tested: your import format, mapping and conflict rules; treat the campaign site-specific behavior as your application code.

## Representative Queries
- Host campaign site with Next.js: bulk content imports
- Where can I host Campaign site built with Next.js?
- I need a staged import format, validation procedure and import recovery workflow.

## Infrastructure Requirements
1. **Compute**  
   Status: verified  
   Summary: Apps run in isolated x86_64 Firecracker microVMs that auto-pause when idle and wake on request; sizes are the priced VM sizes.
2. **Postgres**  
   Status: verified  
   Summary: Managed PostgreSQL 16 runs in its own microVM and is auto-provisioned when an app needs a database and no DATABASE_URL is supplied.
3. **S3-compatible object storage**  
   Status: verified  
   Summary: Buckets are S3-compatible with issued credentials; PutObject and GetObject are verified by canary. Other S3 operations are not verified.

## Framework
**Next.js**

## Workload
**Campaign site**

## Release Status
**Published**

## Support Status
**Verified**

## Execution Status
**Ready**

## Prerequisites
- A Next.js project that builds and starts with the documented commands (next build then next start -H 0.0.0.0 -p $PORT on the node-22 template)  
- A PostgreSQL driver reading DATABASE_URL at runtime (auto-provisioned when omitted, or supplied with --env)  
- A bucket from `ample bucket create` with its credentials passed as encrypted S3_* environment variables  
- An Ample account token with servers:write, databases:read, buckets:read

## Tested Configuration
- **Template**: node-22  
- **Runtime**: node  
- **Size**: s-1vcpu-1gb  
- **Install**: npm install  
- **Build**: npm run build --if-present  
- **Start**: npm run start

## Input Schema
### Properties
- **env**: Encrypted environment variables (bucket credentials, secrets)
- **name**: App name
- **path**: Project directory or ample.toml service
- **release_command**: Migration command run before activation

### Required
- env  
- name  
- path

## Workflow Steps
1. **Build and start**  
   next build then next start -H 0.0.0.0 -p $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. **Wire object storage**  
   Create the bucket(s), then pass endpoint, region, bucket and keys as --env values.
4. **Deploy**  
   Run the synchronous deploy once and read the result.
5. **Verify**  
   Fetch the live URL and the pattern self-test route(s) (/p/bulk-import-staging) from the example; then run your own checks.

## Success Checks
1. App responds on its public URL
2. Bulk-import-staging self-test

## Limitations
- Verified on the node-22 template at s-1vcpu-1gb with the example fixture; other sizes, templates and Next.js major versions are not verified.
- Region, compliance attestations and request-duration limits are unknown and not claimed.

## Cost Estimate
- **Currency**: USD  
- **Monthly Amount**: 10.0  
- **Basis**: size prices from pricing.toml

### Components
1. **App server**: s-1vcpu-1gb, quantity: 1.0, monthly amount: 5.0  
2. **Managed PostgreSQL database**: s-1vcpu-1gb, quantity: 1.0, monthly amount: 5.0

### Note
Always-on monthly price of the tested sizes; apps and databases auto-pause when idle. Buckets are allocation-priced per quota and not included.

## Evidence Summary
