## What it is
vinext is a Vite plugin from Cloudflare that reimplements the Next.js API surface (App Router, Pages Router, RSC, server actions, ISR, middleware) so Next.js apps can run on Vite and deploy to any host. It targets Cloudflare Workers first, with Node.js and other platforms supported through Nitro and standalone bundles.

## Use cases
- deploy a Next.js app to Cloudflare Workers
- migrate an existing Next.js project off the next CLI
- get faster dev loop and smaller bundles for a Next.js app
- run a Next.js app on Vercel, Netlify, AWS, or Deno Deploy
- check Next.js app compatibility before migrating
- build a React Server Components app with Vite

## When to choose
- you want to deploy a Next.js-style app to Cloudflare Workers or other non-Vercel hosts
- you want faster builds and smaller client bundles than Next.js with Turbopack
- your app uses App Router, Pages Router, RSC, server actions, ISR, or middleware
- you prefer the Vite plugin ecosystem and native ESM tooling

## When to avoid
- you need a fully drop-in Next.js replacement for production workloads today
- your app relies on Cache Components, partial prerendering, or build-time image/font optimization
- you depend on native modules like sharp or satori in App Router development
- you use route config like runtime or preferredRegion
