How to Deploy Next.js to Flux Cloud: Decentralized, High-Uptime, and Budget-Friendly

Source: Dev.to

Why Choose Flux Cloud for Next.js

• Drastically lower costs – As a decentralized network, Flux avoids the “convenience tax” of major corporate clouds, often costing a fraction of the price for comparable CPU and RAM.
• Automatic global redundancy – Your Next.js app is deployed across multiple nodes worldwide. If one node goes offline, the network keeps your site reachable.
• Built‑in failover – When a deployment fails, Flux automatically rolls back to the last working version.
• Full SSR support – Flux handles the full‑stack Next.js runtime, including Server‑Side Rendering (SSR) and API routes, unlike static‑only hosts.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Make sure your package.json contains the standard Next.js scripts:

{
  "scripts": {
    "build": "next build",
    "start": "next start"
  }
}

Deploy with Git

1. Go to the Flux Cloud Dashboard.
2. Select Deploy with Git.
3. Enter your GitHub or GitLab repository URL.
4. Flux builds your image and distributes it across the network.

Any push to your main branch triggers a fresh build, and the global URL updates automatically once the new version is ready.
