## What it is
OpenNext is an open-source adapter that converts the Next.js build output into packages deployable to platforms beyond Vercel, natively supporting AWS Lambda/CloudFront/S3 and Cloudflare Workers, plus classic Node.js servers. It aims for full Next.js 15 feature parity including SSR, SSG, ISR, middleware, server actions, and image optimization.

## Use cases
- deploy a Next.js app to AWS Lambda instead of Vercel
- self-host Next.js on my own infrastructure
- run Next.js on Cloudflare Workers
- deploy Next.js with SSR and ISR support on AWS
- migrate a Next.js site off Vercel
- host a Next.js app with CloudFront and S3
- run Next.js server actions and middleware on serverless

## When to choose
- you want to deploy Next.js to AWS or Cloudflare with full SSR/ISR/SSG support
- you want to avoid Vercel's proprietary platform while keeping feature parity
- you use SST or the AWS CDK and want a maintained Next.js adapter
- you need edge or near-zero cold-start serverless Next.js hosting

## When to avoid
- you deploy to Vercel, where Next.js works natively without an adapter
- you need guaranteed 100% Vercel feature parity, since some gaps remain
- you use a framework other than Next.js
- you want a zero-config static site host with no server-side rendering

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: ssr, deployment, build-tool, web-framework, caching, middleware
- domain: web-development, frontend, backend, cloud-computing, self-hosted
- platform: cloud, serverless, self-hosted
- tags: nextjs, aws-lambda, cloudflare-workers, serverless, vercel-alternative, sst, isr, ssg, edge, adapter, devops, nodejs, web-server, docker
