Host product catalog with Nuxt: public product media

Summary

Deploy a product catalog built with Nuxt on Ample using the public media library 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, and a published bucket serves public assets from the CDN host. Verified on Nuxt: an object written to a published bucket with an immutable Cache-Control header, a mapping row, and the CDN URL serving it publicly. Not separately tested: your media processing, object layout and cache policy; treat the product catalog-specific behavior as your application code.

Representative Queries

• Host product catalog with Nuxt: public product media
• Where can I host Product catalog built with Nuxt?
• I need product-to-object mappings and a tested public media delivery path.

Resource Requirements

• primitive:compute
• primitive:postgres
• primitive:s3-compatible-object-storage
• primitive:cdn

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.
• CDN: The CDN host serves objects from published buckets. It does not front app compute and is not a cache or key-value store.

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).
• A bucket from ample bucket create with its credentials passed as encrypted S3_* environment variables and a second, published bucket for public assets (CDN_*).
• An Ample account token with servers:write, databases:read, buckets: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. Wire object storage
   • Create the bucket(s), then pass endpoint, region, bucket and keys as --env values.
4. Deploy
   • ample deploy . --name --public --env S3_ENDPOINT=... --env S3_REGION=... --env S3_BUCKET=... --env S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=... --env S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=... --env CDN_PUBLIC_URL=...
5. Verify
   • ample logs --kind build

Examples

• Nuxt pattern fixture: Multi-pattern Nuxt app whose public media library module was checked live; the module is under tests/deploy-canaries/_pattern-modules.

Success Checks

• App responds on its public URL: Expect ample canary nuxt patterns
• Public-media-library self-test: Expect a CDN URL whose content is served publicly.

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.

Cost Estimate

• Currency: USD
• Monthly Amount: 10.0
• Components:
  • app server: s-1vcpu-1gb
  • managed PostgreSQL database: s-1vcpu-1gb
  • 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.
