Next.js web app development on PostgreSQL
SoftVolt AI handles white-label Next.js web app development for agencies whose clients need portals, dashboards, bookings or internal tools. We build on PostgreSQL with Prisma, Drizzle or Kysely. Each app is scoped as a product and handed over under your brand.

Next.js apps on PostgreSQL, run the way agencies need it run.
Websites, stores and apps your clients will put their name on.
Send the brief and a named producer turns it into a written scope: 6 deliverables, each priced, with the assumptions and the tools listed — Next.js, PostgreSQL, Prisma, Drizzle, Kysely, TypeScript. Nothing is built until you have agreed that document, and the price on it is the price you pay.
It is the brief we see most often from full-service agencies, digital marketing agencies. Everything ships under your agency's name — the staging link, the commits, the checklist and the handover — and your client never learns we were involved.

Next.js apps on PostgreSQL: what you get.
Every item here appears in the scope document with a price against it. Nothing starts until you approve it.
- 01Product scope: user roles, flows, data model, integration list
- 02PostgreSQL schema with migrations, using Prisma, Drizzle or Kysely
- 03Auth, permissions and audit trails
- 04Server actions and route handlers for every integration
- 05Dashboards, tables, exports and notifications
- 06Deployment, monitoring and a maintenance plan
Our Next.js web app development work starts with the data, not the screens. We agree the user roles, the flows and the data model in writing, then build the app in Next.js on PostgreSQL under your agency’s brand.
What Next.js web app development covers
The deliverables list covers the build itself. These are the decisions inside it that affect your client for years.
- The data layer. Prisma suits fast delivery and a readable schema. Drizzle suits teams who want SQL-shaped TypeScript, and Kysely suits apps whose queries need full control.
- Auth and roles. Sign-in, invitations and password resets, with role checks on the server for every action and an audit trail of who changed what.
- Server actions and route handlers. Business rules run on the server, and each integration has its own handler with retries and logging.
- The unglamorous parts. CSV exports, email notifications, backups and error monitoring are in the scope from the start, not added after launch.
We also raise the awkward details early, such as what happens to a booking when a payment fails. The answers go into the scope before anyone writes code.
Next.js app, Laravel or an internal tool
Choose by who will maintain the app and how big it is. The scope confirms the choice before any code is written.
| Brief | Best fit |
|---|---|
| A customer portal, booking system or SaaS-style product with a React front end | Next.js on PostgreSQL |
| An app where the client’s team or hosting runs PHP | Laravel application |
| A small tool that replaces one spreadsheet | Internal tool |
| Content plus member areas and an editorial workflow | Next.js with Payload CMS |

How an app project runs
Apps are scoped as products. The written scope lists every role, flow and integration with a fixed price, and it arrives within two business days of the brief.
Builds run on a password-protected staging URL under your brand, with seeded test data so you can click through each flow before your client does. A named producer posts progress in your shared Slack Connect or WhatsApp channel.
At handover you get the repository, the deployment and monitoring setup, and a maintenance plan. Our access is revoked and confirmed in writing, as described on our security page.
Pricing
App builds get their own fixed-price scope, because roles, data and integrations differ on every brief. The number of roles, the integrations and any data migration from spreadsheets or an old system move the price most.
Hosting and database costs are billed at cost or held in your accounts. Monthly plans for ongoing work are on our rates page.

Next.js apps on PostgreSQL: who briefs it most.
Questions agencies ask about Next.js web apps
01Prisma, Drizzle or Kysely: which do you use?
Whichever suits the app and the people who will maintain it. Prisma gives a readable schema and fast delivery for most portals and dashboards. Drizzle keeps queries close to SQL while staying typed. Kysely fits apps with complex reporting queries. The scope names the choice and the reason for it.
02Can you build the app next to the client’s existing website?
Yes. The app can run on a subdomain while the marketing site stays on WordPress or any other platform. If the marketing site is also Next.js, both can live in one codebase. The scope sets out which system owns which data, so nothing is stored twice.
03Where is the app hosted?
Vercel with a managed PostgreSQL database is the default, or the client’s own infrastructure if they have it. We set up backups, monitoring and a deploy pipeline, and document it all in a runbook. Hosting and database costs are billed at cost or held in your accounts.
04Can you take over a Next.js app another team started?
Yes. We begin with a short audit covering the framework version, data layer, auth, hosting and open bugs. You get a written summary and a fixed-price scope for what comes next. If the previous team left no documentation, the audit becomes the first version of it.
05Who owns the code and the data?
Your agency or your client, as you agree with them. We transfer the repository and the database to accounts you control at handover, with a runbook and a maintenance plan. Our access is then revoked, and we confirm the removal in writing.
