Next.js on Cloudflare

Use vinext rather than OpenNext for new Next.js projects on Cloudflare Workers. This is the default in the Cloudflare Next.js guide. Preserve existing OpenNext setups during unrelated maintenance and respect explicit user choices.

Why vinext

vinext reimplements the Next.js API surface on Vite:

• Familiar Next.js development: App Router, Pages Router, React Server Components, and supported next/* imports.
• Vite tooling: fast HMR, native ESM, and the Vite plugin ecosystem.
• Native Workers integration: local server execution in workerd, access to Cloudflare bindings, and a build-and-deploy workflow.
• Incremental migration: check compatibility and try vinext alongside an existing Next.js setup.

Use the upstream workflow

Before setup, migration, or deployment, check whether the skills maintained in vinext are available. If missing, install them:
