[svg][yH5BAEAAAA][image] by Steven Tey [yH5BAEAAAA][image] Today, we are excited to launch the Platforms Starter Kit / -- a comprehensive template for building multi-tenant applications with custom domains. What is a multi-tenant application? Multi-tenant applications serve multiple customers across different subdomains/custom domains with a single unified codebase. For example, this blog is a multi-tenant application: * Subdomain: demo.vercel.pub / * Custom domain: platformize.co / (maps to demo.vercel.pub /) * Build your own: app.vercel.pub / Another example is Hashnode /, a popular blogging platform. Each writer has their own unique .hashnode.dev subdomain for their blog: * eda.hashnode.dev / * katycodesstuff.hashnode.dev / * pit.hashnode.dev / Users can also map custom domains to their .hashnode.dev subdomain: * catalins.tech / - pit.hashnode.dev / Today, we're making it easier than ever for creators to start their own platform by providing a comprehensive starter kit and announcing unlimited custom domains for all Pro teams on Vercel. Template features Forget manually setting up CNAME records, wrestling with DNS, or making custom server rewrite rules with NGINX. With Vercel and the Platforms Starter Kit, you can focus on building the next big thing. * Custom domains: Subdomain and custom domains support with Edge Functions / and the Vercel Domains API /. * Static generation with ISR: Performance without sacrificing personalization, by combining Incremental Static Regeneration / (ISR) and Middleware /. ISR allows you to create new content (with custom domains) on demand without needing to redeploy your application. * Uploading custom images: Allow your customers to upload 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). Examples of platforms Vercel customers like Hashnode /, Super /, and 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.
