## Introduction



The [Platforms Starter Kit](https://app.vercel.pub/) is a full-stack Next.js app with multi-tenancy and custom domain support. Built with [Next.js App Router](https://nextjs.org/docs/app), [Vercel Postgres](https://vercel.com/storage/postgres) and the [Vercel Domains API](https://vercel.com/docs/rest-api/endpoints#domains).



Here's a quick 30-second demo:

## Features



1. **Multi-tenancy:** Programmatically assign unlimited custom domains, subdomains, and SSL certificates to your users using the [Vercel Domains API](https://vercel.com/docs/rest-api/endpoints#domains)

2. **Performance**: Fast & beautiful blog posts cached via [Vercel's Edge Network](https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/edge-network/overview), with the ability to invalidate the cache on-demand (when users make changes) using [Incremental Static Regeneration](https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/next.js/incremental-static-regeneration) + Next.js' `revalidateTag` API

3. **AI Editor**: AI-powered Markdown editor for a Notion-style writing experience powered by [Novel](https://novel.sh/)

4. **Image Uploads**: Drag & drop / copy & paste image uploads, backed by [Vercel Blob](https://vercel.com/storage/blob)

5. **Custom styles**: Custom fonts, 404 pages, favicons, sitemaps for each site via the [Next.js file-based Metadata API](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata)

6. **Dynamic OG Cards**: Each blog post comes with a dynamic OG image powered by [@vercel/og](https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/functions/edge-functions/og-image-generation)

7. **Dark Mode**: For a better user experience at night

8. **Multi-tenant Preview URLs**: Preview changes to your client sites using [Vercel Preview URLs](https://vercel.com/docs/deployments/generated-urls). [Learn more](https://vercel.com/guides/nextjs-multi-tenant-application#3.-multi-tenant-preview-urls).

You can also [read the guide](https://vercel.com/guides/nextjs-multi-tenant-application) to learn how to develop your own version of this template.



## What is a multi-tenant application?



Multi-tenant applications serve multiple customers across different subdomains/custom domains with a single unified codebase.



For example, our demo is a multi-tenant application:



- Subdomain: [demo.vercel.pub](http://demo.vercel.pub)

- Custom domain: [platformize.co](http://platformize.co) (maps to [demo.vercel.pub](http://demo.vercel.pub))

- Build your own: [app.vercel.pub](http://app.vercel.pub)



Another example is [Hashnode](https://vercel.com/customers/hashnode), a popular blogging platform. Each writer has their own unique `.hashnode.dev` subdomain for their blog:



- [eda.hashnode.dev](https://eda.hashnode.dev/)

- [katycodesstuff.hashnode.dev](https://katycodesstuff.hashnode.dev/)

- [akoskm.hashnode.dev](https://akoskm.hashnode.dev/)



Users can also map custom domains to their `.hashnode.dev` subdomain:



- [akoskm.com](https://akoskm.com/) → [akoskm.hashnode.dev](https://akoskm.hashnode.dev/)



With the Platforms Starter Kit, you can offer unlimited custom domains at no extra cost to your customers as a premium feature, without having to worry about custom nameservers or configuring SSL certificates.



## Examples of platforms



Vercel customers like [Hashnode](https://vercel.com/customers/hashnode), [Super](https://super.so), and [Cal.com](https://cal.com) are building scalable platforms on top of Vercel and Next.js. There are multiple types of platforms you can build with this starter kit:



### 1. Content creation platforms



These are content-heavy platforms (blogs) with simple, standardized page layouts and route structure.



> “With Vercel, we spend less time managing our infrastructure and more time delivering value to our users.” — Sandeep Panda, Co-founder, Hashnode



1. [Hashnode](https://hashnode.com)

2. [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com/)

3. [Read.cv](https://read.cv/)



### 2. Website & e-commerce store builders



No-code site builders with customizable pages.



By using Next.js and Vercel, [Super](https://super.so/) has fast, globally distributed websites with a no-code editor (Notion). Their customers get all the benefits of Next.js (like [Image Optimization](https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/image-optimization)) without touching any code.



1. [Super.so](https://super.so)

2. [Typedream](https://typedream.com)

3. [Makeswift](https://www.makeswift.com/)



### 3. B2B2C platforms



Multi-tenant authentication, login, and access controls.



With Vercel and Next.js, platforms like [Instatus](https://instatus.com) are able to create status pages that are _10x faster_ than competitors.



1. [Instatus](https://instatus.com/)

2. [Cal.com](https://cal.com/)

3. [Dub](https://dub.co/)



## Built on open source



This working demo site was built using the Platforms Starter Kit and:



- [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/) as the React framework

- [Tailwind](https://tailwindcss.com/) for CSS styling

- [Drizzle](https://orm.drizzle.team/) as the ORM for database access

- [Novel](https://novel.sh/) for the WYSIWYG editor

- [Vercel Postgres](https://vercel.com/storage/postgres) for the database

- [Vercel Blob](https://vercel.com/storage/blob) for image uploads

- [NextAuth.js](https://next-auth.js.org/) for authentication

- [Tremor](https://tremor.so/) for charts

- [Vercel](http://vercel.com/) for deployment
