Deploy your Next.js app in 30 seconds with git push, the KWS CLI, or our REST API. App Router, Server Components, ISR, and Edge Functions supported. Free tier includes one always-on SSR project; upgrade for pinned, no-cold-start hosting.
Runs the official Next.js production server — every framework feature works out of the box. No vendor-specific runtime, no proprietary build adapter.
Server Components, Server Actions, Route Handlers, and the classic Pages Router all run on the production Next.js server. We don't ship a custom runtime.
revalidate, revalidateTag, and revalidatePath work as documented. Cache regeneration happens on the Node process; no special build step needed.
Connect your repo once. Push to main → automatic build + deploy. Open a PR → automatic preview URL. Merge → preview tears down.
Attach yourbrand.com in the dashboard. AutoSSL provisions a free Let's Encrypt certificate and renews it automatically.
Pro gets 2 always-on slots, Business 5, Enterprise 25. Pinned SSRs never sleep — first-visit response stays consistent without cold-start.
Plan-capped billing: when your project hits its monthly bandwidth or compute quota, KWS pauses it. You're never billed for usage past your included limits.
Same workflow you already know. Pick whichever matches how you ship.
One-click from the dashboard. KWS detects Next.js, runs npm install and next build, ships to your subdomain. Push to main re-deploys; PRs get preview URLs.
Install the CLI globally and run kws deploy from your project root. The folder zips, uploads, and goes live in under 60 seconds.
Trigger deployments from any AI builder or CI pipeline. POST a zip + your Personal Access Token to /api/v1/deployments.
From inside your Next.js project, install our CLI and run kws deploy. First run creates the project automatically.

If you need sub-50ms global response times, Vercel or Cloudflare's edge runtime is still the right answer. For everything else, KWS is a good fit.
Next.js works on every tier. Pin always-on slots on Pro and above.
Need more? Enterprise includes 25 always-on slots, unlimited bandwidth, and WHM access.
If your question isn't here, the knowledge base has the long answers.
/public are served by Apache directly and never cold-start.revalidate, revalidateTag, and on-demand revalidation via Route Handlers all function normally.yourname.katikaws.com with SSL included.middleware.ts runs in our Node runtime rather than at the edge. For most apps this is functionally identical; the difference matters only if you need sub-50ms global response times, in which case a CDN-edge platform may be a better fit.kws deploy from your project directory. (3) Use the REST API. All three trigger the same build pipeline.Free tier. No credit card. Commercial use permitted. Custom domain on any paid plan.
