Next.js Hosting
Host Next.js applications with Wodby using a managed stack and a Kubernetes-based runtime. Wodby Cloud is Wodby’s hosted cluster option for teams that do not want to run the cluster in their own cloud account or on their own server.
Wodby Cloud gives you persistent Wodby-hosted clusters billed by resource usage. Managed Kubernetes stays available when you need scaling; self-hosted Kubernetes is the budget single-server path when one server is enough.
Managed Next.js stack
Deploy Next.js on a ready-to-run stack instead of hand-assembling services, runtime configuration, and deployment workflow.
No separate cluster to bring
Use Wodby Cloud when you want the Wodby workflow without running the cluster in your own cloud account or on your own server.
Alternative infrastructure paths
Use managed Kubernetes when you need scaling, or self-hosted Kubernetes on one server when you need a tighter hosting budget.
In production
How Wodby runs Next.js in production
A Next.js application on Wodby runs as a Node.js service started from a production build. It is the only required service; PostgreSQL, Valkey, and mail services join the environment when the application uses them.
Connection details stay on the server
The database, Valkey, and mail connection details arrive as variables for server-side code. The browser never receives them, and each one exists only while its link and service are switched on.
Always a production runtime
Because the container runs a production build, the Node environment is production in every deployed environment type, including dev. It should not be switched to development for a deployed environment.
The port Next.js already uses
The application must listen on the port that the Next.js start command picks by default. A standard start script therefore needs no port setting of its own.
Data lives in the database service
Files the application writes into its container vanish when the container is replaced. PostgreSQL stores its data on a separate volume, with backups taken as compressed SQL dumps.
Read the Next.js stack guide for setup steps, settings, and limits.
Moving an existing Next.js application?
Ask your coding agent to read the repository, match the application to maintained Wodby services, and list what has to change. Review the plan before anything is created or moved.
Wodby Cloud for managed Next.js hosting
If you do not want to use your own Kubernetes cluster or server, Wodby Cloud is the most direct way to host Next.js on Wodby. It lets you deploy to a persistent Wodby-hosted cluster billed according to the resources you actually use.
That makes Wodby Cloud a strong fit for product teams and agencies that want repeatable Next.js environments without needing their own cloud account, cluster, or server setup.
Why start with Wodby Cloud
- No need to set up your own cloud account, Kubernetes cluster, or server before deploying Next.js apps.
- Persistent Wodby-hosted clusters billed hourly as Wodby Cloud usage.
- Paid plans include $30 of Wodby Cloud per month.
- Good fit for production frontends, previews, and full-stack Next.js applications on the platform.

More than hosting for Next.js
Wodby Cloud gives you the platform around the stack, not just a place to run it. Teams can manage environments, delivery flow, and day-to-day operations in one system instead of combining separate hosting and deployment tools.
That means the value on these hosting pages is both managed infrastructure and a repeatable application platform for ongoing work.
What you get from the platform
- Managed Next.js stack with services that work together out of the box.
- Environment management for production, staging, and development.
- Integrated CI/CD with deployment history and automatic rollback attempts.
- Managed routing and endpoints, automatic HTTPS, backups, and imports.
- Controlled automatic updates and app service controls for ongoing maintenance.
Alternative hosting options when you want to own the infrastructure
Managed Kubernetes
Managed Kubernetes is the stronger fit when Next.js workloads need more scaling flexibility, easier upgrades, and a cleaner path to resilient production infrastructure in your own cloud account.
Budget self-hosted Kubernetes
Self-hosted Kubernetes on one dedicated server or VM is a more affordable option for smaller Next.js applications, preview environments, and lower-traffic workloads that do not need Kubernetes scaling.
Read more on the self-hosted Kubernetes page.
Who this is for
Product teams, frontend platforms, and agencies usually get the clearest value from starting on Wodby Cloud because it reduces setup time and keeps hosting operations simpler.
If infrastructure ownership matters more later, the same stack can move to managed Kubernetes in your own account or to a single-server self-hosted Kubernetes setup.

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 MillerEighty 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.
