# Host crm with Next.js: CSV imports

Deploy a crm 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 crm-specific behavior as your application code.

## Representative Queries
- Host crm with Next.js: CSV imports
- Where can I host CRM built with Next.js?
- I need a domain CSV format, row validation, deduplication and an import recovery path.

## Resource Requirements
- primitive:compute
- primitive:postgres
- primitive: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
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**: The fixture's module implements bulk import staging: 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). 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. Use path-style addressing. Keep private data in an unpublished bucket.
4. **Deploy**: Run the synchronous deploy once and read the result (exit 0 live, 1 failed, 2 blocked). Re-running with no change is a no-op.

```bash
   ample deploy . --name  --public --env S3_ENDPOINT=... --env S3_REGION=... --env S3_BUCKET=... --env S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=... --env S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...`
   ```
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. On failure read `ample logs  --kind build` then `--kind runtime`.
   
   ```bash
   ample logs  --kind build
   ```

## Examples
- **Next.js pattern fixture**: Multi-pattern Next.js app whose bulk import staging module was checked live; the module is under tests/deploy-canaries/_pattern-modules.

## Success Checks
- App responds on its public URL: `http_get` path: `/`, expect: `ample canary next js patterns`
- Bulk-import-staging self-test: `http_get` path: `/p/bulk-import-staging`, expect: `imported=2 rejected=1 restart=ok`

## 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.
- The crm itself (your import format, mapping and conflict rules) is application code and was not separately tested; the pattern checks are what was verified.
- Region, compliance attestations and request-duration limits are unknown and not claimed.

## Cost Estimate
- **Monthly Amount**: $10.00 USD
- **Components**:
  - App server: size `s-1vcpu-1gb`, quantity `1.0`, monthly amount: $5.00
  - Managed PostgreSQL database: size `s-1vcpu-1gb`, quantity `1.0`, monthly amount: $5.00

**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.
