DartUp + Next.js: Deploy Your App in 30 Seconds

Tell Your AI to Deploy. That's It.

Open Claude Code. Point it at your Next.js project. Say "deploy this to DartUp."

DartUp reads your next.config.js, detects the framework, installs dependencies, builds the production bundle, and pushes it to a container. You get a live URL at your-app.dartup.dev with HTTPS enabled.

No Vercel account. No CLI install. No build configuration file. No environment variable dashboard. You typed one sentence and your Next.js app is live on the internet.

DartUp Understands Next.js

A static file host breaks Next.js features. Server components fail. API routes return 404s. Middleware never runs. DartUp avoids these problems because it runs your Next.js app as a Node.js server inside a container.

DartUp works with Next.js 14, 15, and 16. The build system detects your version from package.json and adjusts the build command. You don't configure anything.

Add a Database in One Line

Most Next.js apps need a database. On other platforms, you provision a separate database service, copy the connection string, paste it into an environment variable form, and hope the networking works.

DartUp creates the database alongside your app. Tell Claude Code to "deploy with Postgres" and DartUp spins up a Postgres container, generates credentials, and injects DATABASE_URL into your app's environment. Your Next.js app reads the variable and connects.

"Deploy my Next.js app to DartUp with a Postgres database"

DartUp supports Postgres, MySQL, Redis, and MongoDB as sidecar databases. Each one provisions in seconds and connects to your Next.js app through environment variables. Available on the Pro plan.

Environment Variables Stay Secret

Your Next.js app needs API keys, database credentials, and auth secrets. DartUp encrypts these at rest and injects them at runtime. They never appear in build logs or client-side bundles.

DartUp auto-generates values for common secrets like AUTH_SECRET,JWT_SECRET, and SESSION_SECRET if your project includes an .env.example. You skip the manual setup for boilerplate secrets.

Custom Domains and HTTPS

Your Next.js app gets a free subdomain at your-app.dartup.dev with automatic HTTPS. On the Pro plan, add your own domain. Point your DNS to DartUp's server, and DartUp provisions a TLS certificate through Let's Encrypt.

Certificate renewal happens before expiration. You set up the domain once and forget about it.

Redeploy Without Breaking Your URL

You pushed a fix to your Next.js app. Tell Claude Code to deploy again. DartUp updates the running container in place. Your URL stays the same. Your custom domain stays attached. Your database keeps its data.

No duplicate deployments. No orphaned containers. One app, one URL, updated whenever you redeploy.
