Hospitality: vendor portal using Next.js

Summary

A vendor portal blueprint for hospitality built with Next.js on Ample. Domain schema: room_types (sku, name, capacity, base_rate, amenities): room and package catalog; inventory_movements (sku, date, delta, reason): availability per date as stock movements; bookings (booking_no, check_in, check_out, status): bookings with status transitions; booking_lines (booking_no, sku, nights, rate): booking contents; document_access (document_id, principal_reference, role, granted_at): who may read which document. Public information: room types, amenities and rates from, property location and policies, events and dining. Kept out of scope until handling is reviewed: guest identity documents, payment details, stay history. Guest identity documents are sensitive; only availability and booking status are modeled here. Technical basis verified on Next.js: a role-to-document access model with negative tests (401 without identity, 403 for the wrong role) and a private-bucket round-trip for the allowed role (private=ok).

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.)
• Postgres: verified (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: verified (Buckets are S3-compatible with issued credentials; PutObject and GetObject are verified by canary. Other S3 operations are not verified.)

Prerequisites

• A Next.js project (next build then next start -H 0.0.0.0 -p $PORT on the node-22 template)
• A PostgreSQL driver reading DATABASE_URL (auto-provisioned when omitted)
• Bucket credentials from ample bucket create passed as encrypted S3_* environment variables
• A review of which hospitality 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 hospitality domain. Create the tables room_types, inventory_movements, bookings, booking_lines, document_access. Room and package catalog lives in room_types; keep the sensitive classes (guest identity documents, payment details, stay history) out of this schema.

2. Workflow step 1. Model vendors scoped to the agency with roles

3. Workflow step 2. Authorize document access by vendor and role (401, 403 negative tests)

4. Workflow step 3. Store vendor documents in the private bucket

5. Workflow step 4. Deploy and verify the negative tests and an authorized download

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=...
   

7. Verify. Run the pattern self-test(s) from the example (/p/private-document-library) and your own acceptance checks for the hospitality workflow.

   ample logs <deployment_id> --kind build
   

Tested examples

• Next.js pattern fixture (tests/deploy-canaries/next-js-patterns): Verified private document library basis for this blueprint.

Success checks

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

Limitations

• The technical basis (private document library on Next.js) was verified with the pattern fixture; the hospitality 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. Guest identity documents are sensitive; only availability and booking status are modeled here.
• 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.
• Managed PostgreSQL 16 only; extensions, connection limits and backup or restore procedures are not verified.
• PutObject and GetObject with path-style addressing are verified; other S3 operations and CDN cache rules are not.
