## Summary

A asset library blueprint for tutoring centers built with Next.js on Ample. Domain schema: course_groups (subject, level, start_at, end_at, capacity): tutoring groups; memberships (course_group_id, student_reference, guardian_reference, role): students, guardians and tutors; sessions (course_group_id, starts_at, tutor, attendance_count): session events; materials (course_group_id, title, object_key, visibility): worksheets and answer keys; uploads (id, owner_reference, object_key, content_type, size, uploaded_at): validated uploads linked to their owner. Public information: subjects and levels, schedule and locations, tutor qualifications. Kept out of scope until handling is reviewed: minor students and guardian identity, progress reports. Data about minors is sensitive; only group schedules and materials are modeled here. Technical basis verified on Next.js: content-type and size validation that rejects disallowed files, an object written to a private bucket and a row linking the record to the object key (reject=ok upload=ok linked=ok).

## Infrastructure requirements

- [Compute](/discover/primitive/compute): verified (Apps run in isolated x86_64 Firecracker microVMs that auto-pause when idle and wake on request; sizes are the priced VM sizes.)
- [Postgres](/discover/primitive/postgres): verified (Managed PostgreSQL 16 runs in its own microVM and is auto-provisioned when an app needs a database and no DATABASE_URL is supplied.)
- [S3-compatible object storage](/discover/primitive/s3-compatible-object-storage): verified (Buckets are S3-compatible with issued credentials; PutObject and GetObject are verified by canary. Other S3 operations are not verified.)

## Prerequisites

- A Next.js project (next build then next start -H 0.0.0.0 -p $PORT on the node-22 template)
- A PostgreSQL driver reading DATABASE_URL (auto-provisioned when omitted)
- Bucket credentials from `ample bucket create` passed as encrypted S3_* environment variables
- A review of which tutoring centers data classes may be handled at all; this blueprint models public information only

## Exact tested configuration

- template: `node-22`
- runtime: `node`
- size: `s-1vcpu-1gb`
- install: `npm install`
- build: `npm run build --if-present`
- start: `npm run start`

## Steps

1. **Model the tutoring centers domain.** Create the tables course_groups, memberships, sessions, materials, uploads. Tutoring groups lives in course_groups; keep the sensitive classes (minor students and guardian identity, progress reports) out of this schema.
2. **Workflow step 1.** Model assets linked to their owning group or workspace
3. **Workflow step 2.** Validate uploads and store them in the private bucket; link each object to its row
4. **Workflow step 3.** Authorize downloads by membership
5. **Workflow step 4.** Deploy and verify rejection of disallowed files and a linked upload
6. **Deploy.** Run the synchronous deploy once and read the result. Re-running with no change is a no-op.

   ```
   ample deploy . --name <app-name> --public --env S3_ENDPOINT=... --env S3_REGION=... --env S3_BUCKET=... --env S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=... --env S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...
   ```
7. **Verify.** Run the pattern self-test(s) from the example (/p/browser-file-uploads) and your own acceptance checks for the tutoring centers workflow.

   ```
   ample logs <deployment_id> --kind build
   ```

## Tested examples

- **Next.js pattern fixture** (tests/deploy-canaries/next-js-patterns): Verified browser file uploads basis for this blueprint.

## Success checks

- app responds on its public URL (`/` on the live URL, expect ample canary next js patterns)
- browser-file-uploads self-test from the example (`/p/browser-file-uploads` on the live URL, expect see the pattern fixture checks)


## Cost estimate

Estimated 10.00 USD per month (size prices from pricing.toml at build revision 515b7316fc6e5a81679407ae0c811146ceb2c5c7).
- app server x1 `s-1vcpu-1gb`: 5.00 USD
- managed PostgreSQL database x1 `s-1vcpu-1gb`: 5.00 USD

Always-on monthly price of the tested sizes; apps and databases auto-pause when idle. Buckets are allocation-priced per quota and not included.

## Verification evidence

- canary_run on 2026-09-21T02:34:39Z at revision `1d28ae0 (CLI 0.1.21)`: Next.js pattern fixture deployed on Ample (next build then next start -H 0.0.0.0 -p $PORT on the node-22 template); the browser file uploads checks passed: content-type and size validation that rejects disallowed files, an object written to a private bucket and a row linking the record to the object key (reject=ok upload=ok linked=ok). The blueprint's Tutoring centers schema and workflow below build on that verified basis and were not separately executed. (expires 2027-03-20T02:34:39Z)
