Open Next
3 videos across 3 channels
A look at Open Next’s approach to running Next.js on Cloudflare’s edge, from a simple git-push deployment workflow and edge middleware that leverages Cloudflare context, to the broader questions of developer experience and free-plan viability. It covers Cloudflare’s Vite-based reimplementation (V-Next/OpenX) of Next.js, the rationale behind the fork, tooling and DX considerations, and the tradeoffs between portability and practical constraints in AI-assisted development. Finally, it weighs practical takeaways from the Slop/Fork experiments, including deployment targets and whether the switch delivers tangible value yet.
