Platforms Starter Kit - Build the fastest multi-tenant apps with custom domains

I'm really excited to share this solution with the world. As Vercel has grown in popularity as a platform for developers to instantly deploy websites and applications with great end-user performance, we saw a fascinating emergent usecase. Makers and developers started using Vercel's powerful primitives as the underlying infrastructure to build no-code and low-code platforms. One of the most fascinating and most successful examples is Super (https://super.so), which recently passed 100M pageviews. Super takes a Notion page and converts it into a website. But it's not any kind of website. It's a Next.js application on our high-performance Edge infrastructure, which means the resulting experience benefits from: ▪️ Instant page transitions with prefetching ▪️ Automatic server-side rendering with Edge caching ▪️ High availability (zero downtime), with minimal backend upstream load ▪️ ﹤Image﹥ optimization to serve the right size and codec of images to each device ▪️ ﹤Script﹥ for embedding third-party scripts with minimal end-user impact ▪️ Built-in Analytics to understand real-world performance (https://vercel.com/analytics) That last point is quite interesting. Our platform-wide analytics from end-users are showing us that these platforms are creating websites and content that *outperform* what many developers are hand-coding. I'm excited about bringing this power to more devs, and making the Web faster and more compelling for everyone by extension. This template is an amazing starting point to build your next platform on Vercel.

Very excited to be launching the Platforms Starter Kit here at Vercel! We spent the last 6 months working with folks like Super (Golden Kitty Winner), Typedream (#1 product of the month), Makeswift (#1 product of the day), Hashnode, and many more to create a comprehensive template for building multi-tenant applications with custom domains + amazing lighthouse scores. Here are some of the features of this template: - Custom domains & subdomains support with Edge Functions & the Vercel Domains API - Static generation with ISR, which allows you to create new content (with custom domains) on demand without needing to redeploy your application. - Uploading custom thumbnail images with our Cloudinary integration. - Static tweets – avoid Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) from the native Twitter embed by using our static tweets implementation (supports image, video, gif, poll, retweets, quote retweets, and more). We’re excited for you to try this template out – let us know what you think!

Congrats on the launch, @steventey! I'm currently learning a lot from this repository and planned to implement similar strategies on an opinionated Next.JS SaaS boilerplate that I'm working on (https://nextacular.vercel.app). Excited to see this Starter Kit grow!

I love this! Is easy to use it. Congratulations on the launch!

How awesome! Seriously bringing Vercel's options to the next level, excited to try this out

This is awesome! Just looking at the pricing, it seems like Vercel allow 50 custom domains per project in the pro plan. I believe this is up from 20 the last time I looked a year ago? Would you be able to give an indication of pricing beyond 50 domains?

Congrats on the launch, currently building my first site in NextJS, very impressed so far so I’m sure this will be excellent as well

This is looking slick!

What a game-changing combo and what a streak from the Vercel team! Keep it up! 👏

Thank you for sharing. Template looks very good!

It's been absolutely incredible working with @steventey and Vercel. Amazing product and even better team.

Some stellar feature offerings, the Vercel team is on 🔥

Excited for this! Congrats @steventey and the Vercel team 🙌

Congrats on the launch!

Great! Congratulations on the launch! ^_^ This is amazing tool, and I for me is always helpful and very inspiring when I find no-code ways to create something! That put so much ease and joy in the process of creation.. ^_^ Could you tell me please: is it integrated with any e-commerce store, or does it support some plug-ins related to selling via internet?:))

@rauchg @steventey for sooOoo long I’ve been trying to get my head around multi-tenant architectures in order to build out a few ideas. I’m super pumped that you guys have anticipated this need with a platform development tool that leverages the Vercel infrastructure, and makes it super simple to get started with testing things out. This will definitely help developers get started on new and innovative projects, I know I will certainly be one of them. Well done for listening to your users and innovating on their behalf.

What are you planning to build with the Platforms Starter Kit?
