Al could be hiding its thoughts: Tech giants warn of 'Chain of Thought' (economictimes.indiatimes.com)

After spending months wrestling with Next.js deployment complexity across different platforms, I built NextDevKit - a production-ready SaaS template that works natively on Vercel, Cloudflare Workers, and AWS.

Why I Built This Most Next.js templates either: * Work great on Vercel but nowhere else * Sacrifice features for platform compatibility * Require extensive modifications for each deployment target

I needed something that could deploy to Cloudflare Workers (for $5/month projects) or AWS (for enterprise clients) with the same feature set as Vercel deployments.

Key Features Core SaaS Stack: * Authentication (Better Auth) * Payments (Stripe) * Database (Drizzle ORM) * Email (Resend) * File storage (S3/R2) * Blog & docs (FumaDocs) * i18n support * GDPR-compliant analytics

Deployment Options: * Vercel: Standard deployment * Cloudflare Workers: Uses OpenNext + D1/KV/R2 integration * AWS: SST-based deployment with RDS/Lambda/CloudFront * Containers: Railway, Fly.io, etc.

Technical Highlights * OpenNext Integration: Compatible Node.js API support on Cloudflare Workers * SST for AWS: One-command infrastructure deployment * AI-Friendly Stack: Next.js 15, Tailwind CSS v4, Shadcn UI * Multi-theme Support: Easy color scheme switching * SEO Optimized: 100/100 Google PageSpeed score

The Cloudflare Workers version uses D1 for database, KV for caching/ISR, and R2 for storage - all within the $5/month Worker Standard plan. The AWS version leverages RDS Proxy, Lambda, and CloudFront with proper security configurations for enterprise deployments.

Built this because I was tired of rebuilding the same infrastructure for every project. Would love feedback from the HN community on the deployment approach and feature set!
