Vinext

Vinext is a build system and edge runtime compiler that enables framework-agnostic serverless deployments. It functions as a Vite plugin and compatibility layer that emulates file-system routing, server components, and server actions, allowing projects to maintain specific framework API surfaces while targeting edge workers and serverless environments.

The project provides a specialized bridge for migrating projects to a Vite-based build pipeline while preserving routing and server component patterns. It utilizes a system of module shimming and adapters to produce standalone bundles compatible with various cloud runtimes.

The system covers a broad range of capabilities, including streaming server component rendering, incremental static regeneration, and traffic-based pre-rendering. It also manages request orchestration through middleware and redirects, handles runtime image optimization, and provides direct integration for platform-specific environment bindings and cloud resources.
