Deploy Next.js on Kubernetes
Run Next.js applications on Kubernetes with Wodby’s managed stack. Standardize deployments, keep environments consistent, and ship frontend workloads faster without piecing the platform together yourself.
Deploy Next.js faster with a managed stack
Start from a Next.js stack designed for Kubernetes instead of assembling runtime services, ingress, build steps, and deployment wiring by hand.
Keep frontend delivery predictable
Use a repeatable Kubernetes workflow for Next.js applications with preconfigured infrastructure, clearer environments, and simpler scaling.
Reduce platform overhead for app teams
Use built-in deployment, SSL, backups, and infrastructure management so your team can focus more on shipping product changes.
Why run Next.js on Kubernetes?
Kubernetes gives Next.js teams a cleaner way to standardize deployments, isolate supporting services, and scale application workloads across environments.
Wodby turns that into a managed Next.js stack so teams can use Kubernetes without rebuilding the same infrastructure layer around every frontend project.
A practical fit for Next.js workloads
- Standardize builds, runtime configuration, and deployment flow across environments.
- Scale Next.js applications more cleanly as traffic and project scope grow.
- Keep supporting services organized within a managed Kubernetes setup.
- Reduce custom work around certificates, releases, backups, and platform operations.
What you get with Wodby
- Managed Next.js stack for Kubernetes-based deployments
- Built-in CI/CD and image build workflow
- Automated backups and imports for safer releases and migrations
- Managed SSL certificates and domain setup
- Flexible scaling and resource controls
- Open, portable infrastructure via Wodby’s platform model
Connect the Kubernetes provider you already use
Run Next.js on managed Kubernetes from your cloud account for a flexible, scalable foundation that is easier to upgrade and well suited for production workloads. If you need a lower cost option, choose a lean K3S setup on a dedicated server or VM and still keep a Kubernetes-based workflow.
Budget option: K3S on a dedicated server
For smaller Next.js applications, internal tools, previews, and lower-traffic workloads, Wodby can run on a dedicated server from providers such as Hetzner and OVH using K3S, a lightweight Kubernetes distribution.
This can be an efficient way to keep Kubernetes costs lower for frontend projects that do not need the flexibility of a full managed control plane yet.
Read more in our blog post about affordable Kubernetes with K3S.
Managed Kubernetes for growth and flexibility
Managed Kubernetes is the better fit when your Next.js workloads need stronger scalability, easier upgrades, and more room for production growth.
It gives you a cleaner path for scaling application services, using managed infrastructure primitives, and growing beyond a single-server setup over time.
How Next.js deployment works on Wodby
- 1
Choose a Kubernetes cluster from your preferred provider or use a Wodby-managed option.
- 2
Create a new app from the Next.js stack and connect your repository.
- 3
Configure domains, environment variables, persistent services, and any supporting infrastructure.
- 4
Deploy changes through the built-in CI/CD workflow and scale as traffic grows.
Read more about stack management in our documentation.
Suitable for product teams, frontend platforms, and full-stack apps
If you deploy multiple Next.js projects, need repeatable environments, or want a stronger production workflow, this setup fits that operating model.
Wodby gives Next.js teams a managed stack on Kubernetes with enough flexibility to support both standalone frontends and larger application platforms.

See what our customers say about their experience with Wodby.
We moved our Drupal hosting to use Wodby and changed our development workflow to use Docker at the same time. Now we can concentrate on Drupal development and we're not losing time configuring servers etc. When a site needs additional resources or hosting in a different region we can be way more responsive as deploying a new instance takes no time at all.
Tony MillerDirector at Eighty Options
Wodby’s innovative infrastructure helped us to increase the speed and simplify our app deployment, while also leaving us the freedom of handling our hosting and not locking us on a specific pattern. We are now much more robust for future growth and will be able to innovate faster.
Martin Normann LundCTO at Ramsalt Lab
Wodby has proven to be an invaluable tool for Druid. It offers cost-effective solutions for our smaller customers, and its self-service dashboard empowers us to efficiently handle operations independently, reducing our reliance on support. We highly recommend Wodby for its user-friendly approach and cost-efficiency.
