## Host storefront with Nuxt: inventory imports

Deploy a storefront built with Nuxt 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 Nuxt: 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 storefront-specific behavior as your application code.

### Representative Queries
- Host storefront with Nuxt: inventory imports
- Where can I host Storefront built with Nuxt?
- I need an inventory import contract, staging objects and row-level error handling.

### Resource Requirements
- **Compute**
- **Postgres**
- **S3-compatible object storage**

### Infrastructure Requirements
1. **Compute**  
   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**  
   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**  
   Buckets are S3-compatible with issued credentials; PutObject and GetObject are verified by canary. Other S3 operations are not verified.

### 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
- 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**  
   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) (/api/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
- **Nuxt pattern fixture**: Multi-pattern Nuxt 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**  
  - Kind: http_get  
  - Path: /  
  - Expect: ample canary nuxt patterns  
- **Bulk-import-staging self-test**  
  - Kind: http_get  
  - Path: /api/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 Nuxt major versions are not verified.
- The storefront 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.
- Apps auto-pause when idle and wake on the next request; always-on is an operator setting, not a plan feature.
- Managed PostgreSQL 16 only; extensions, connection limits and backup or restore procedures are not verified; apps and their databases are placed together.
- PutObject and GetObject with path-style addressing are verified; multipart upload, listing, presigned URLs and lifecycle rules are not.
