Deploy Next.js on Tensel
Connect a GitHub repo and push. The rest is handled. No DevOps required.
From commit to production
$ tensel github import acme/nextjs-appDetected Next.js — Node server.→ build isolated context, Paris→ rollout 1/1 replicas healthy ✓ https://nextjs-app.tensel.cloud 38 sHow Next.js is detected
- Detection
- the `next` dependency in package.json
- Runs as
- a Node server in a serverless container in Paris, or a static site on the edge when next.config declares `output: "export"`
From repo to URL
- 1
Import the repository — “tensel github import” or the dashboard — or drop a folder, no git required.
- 2
Tensel detects Next.js, builds in a disposable virtual machine and publishes an immutable image.
- 3
Your application answers over HTTPS on its tensel.cloud subdomain; every later push redeploys.
Good to know
- An explicit `output: "export"` routes the build to the static edge instead of a container; anything else runs `next start`, conservatively, so dynamic routes keep working.
- ISR, Vercel image optimization and edge middleware are platform features of Vercel, not of Next.js; they do not run here. Standard server rendering and API routes do.
- Your app must listen on the port the platform provides (PORT). Every framework's production server does this by default.
- Environments scale to zero on the Free plan; always-on keeps an instance resident from the Personal plan up.
