# OpenNext

An open-source tool that makes Next.js applications deployable on cloud platforms other than Vercel.

**Route:** surfaced by the Web Application and Frontend Hosting Platform lane's de-branded queries → substitute to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** A buyer choosing OpenNext can deploy the same Next.js app on AWS, Cloudflare, or Netlify instead of Vercel, making the anchor's hosting unnecessary.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> open-source initiative to make Next.js truly portable — deployable on any platform, not just Vercel

> New adapters for AWS, Cloudflare, and Netlify are in active development, built on this official API
