Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built PRNext after noticing the same pattern over and over again,
VPS prices keep increasing, and the usual answer is always to add more RAM, more CPU, or move to a bigger server.
So I wanted to try the opposite approach: what if the app simply consumed less?
PRNext is an experimental runtime for Next.js focused on reducing CPU and memory usage without forcing you to rewrite your existing project.
Install it, rebuild, and run.
It's still very early alpha, but early benchmarks are showing around 70-90% lower resource usage, depending on the workload.
Now I want to get it into the hands of more developers, test it against real-world Next.js apps, find what breaks, and improve it.
If you're self-hosting Next.js, I'd genuinely love to hear your benchmarks and feedback. ❤️
