Endodontics: knowledge base using Next.js

Summary

A knowledge base blueprint for endodontics built with Next.js on Ample. Domain schema: procedures (code, name, description, typical_visits): root canal and retreatment procedures; referral_guides (procedure_id, referring_dentist_checklist, imaging_needed): public guidance for referring practices; locations (name, address, phone, opening_hours): clinic locations; endodontists (name, registration_number, technologies): specialists and equipment listed publicly; asset_versions (version, cdn_key, published_at): versioned assets served from the CDN bucket. Public information: procedure catalog, referral guidance for general dentists, specialist profiles and technology, locations. Kept out of scope until handling is reviewed: referral letters with patient identity, imaging files, clinical notes. Referral documents carry patient identity; keep them out of these workflows until handling is reviewed. No compliance is claimed. Technical basis verified on Next.js: a versioned, immutable-cached asset uploaded to a published bucket and served from the CDN URL alongside the app's own public HTTPS URL.

Infrastructure requirements

• Compute: verified (Apps run in isolated x86_64 Firecracker microVMs that auto-pause when idle and wake on request; sizes are the priced VM sizes.)
• CDN: verified (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 Next.js project (next build then next start -H 0.0.0.0 -p $PORT on the node-22 template)
• Bucket credentials from ample bucket create passed as encrypted S3_* environment variables and a published bucket for public assets (CDN_*)
• A review of which endodontics data classes may be handled at all; this blueprint models public information only

Exact tested configuration

• template: node-22
• runtime: node
• size: s-1vcpu-1gb
• install: npm install
• build: npm run build --if-present
• start: npm run start

Steps

1. Model the endodontics domain. Create the tables procedures, referral_guides, locations, endodontists, asset_versions. Root canal and retreatment procedures lives in procedures; keep the sensitive classes (referral letters with patient identity, imaging files, clinical notes) out of this schema.
2. Workflow step 1. Model articles and categories as tables keyed to the public catalog entities
3. Workflow step 2. Build the site with versioned assets served from the CDN bucket
4. Workflow step 3. Keep articles free of any sensitive data class
5. Workflow step 4. Deploy and verify the public URL and the CDN asset URL
6. Deploy. Run the synchronous deploy once and read the result. Re-running with no change is a no-op.

   ample deploy . --name <app-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=...

7. Verify. Run the pattern self-test(s) from the example (/p/versioned-static-assets) and your own acceptance checks for the endodontics workflow.

   ample logs <deployment_id> --kind build

Tested examples

• Next.js pattern fixture (tests/deploy-canaries/next-js-patterns): Verified public web service basis for this blueprint.

Success checks

• app responds on its public URL (/ on the live URL, expect ample canary next js patterns)
• versioned-static-assets self-test from the example (/p/versioned-static-assets on the live URL, expect see the pattern fixture checks)

Limitations

• The technical basis (public web service on Next.js) was verified with the pattern fixture; the endodontics schema and workflow are an original design for this blueprint and were not executed as a separate application.
• No health, financial, privacy or other compliance claim is made. Referral documents carry patient identity; keep them out of these workflows until handling is reviewed. No compliance is claimed.
• Public content and synthetic examples only until actual data-handling requirements have been reviewed.
• Verified on the node-22 template at s-1vcpu-1gb; region, request-duration limits and other sizes are unknown or unverified.
• PutObject and GetObject with path-style addressing are verified; other S3 operations and CDN cache rules are not.

Cost estimate

Estimated 5.00 USD per month (size prices from pricing.toml at build revision a1b8c38919e59cd035ebabaced73cf84ece24371).

• app server x1 s-1vcpu-1gb: 5.00 USD

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

Verification evidence

• canary_run on 2026-09-21T02:34:39Z at revision 1d28ae0-dirty (CLI 0.1.21): Next.js pattern fixture deployed on Ample (next build then next start -H 0.0.0.0 -p $PORT on the node-22 template); the public web service checks passed: a versioned, immutable-cached asset uploaded to a published bucket and served from the CDN URL alongside the app's own public HTTPS URL. The blueprint's Endodontics schema and workflow below build on that verified basis and were not separately executed. (expires 2027-03-20T02:34:39Z)
