Deploy Next.js without Vercel

Next.js and Vercel are deeply integrated. But you don't need Vercel to run Next.js. You need a server, Node.js, and a reverse proxy. Risved handles all three.

Why deploy Next.js without Vercel

• Avoid vendor lock-in to Vercel's platform
• Control where your data lives
• Fixed monthly cost instead of usage-based pricing
• Run alongside other apps on the same server

How Risved handles Next.js

Risved detects your next.config.js, runs npm run build in a Node container, and serves the standalone output. ISR, API routes, and SSR all work. Your app runs in Docker behind Caddy with auto-HTTPS.

No Vercel-specific features (Edge Functions, Image Optimisation API), but everything in core Next.js works.
