Nuxt on Netlify
Netlify publishes its own guide for deploying Nuxt.
Vue framework with file-based routing and a choice of static, server-rendered or hybrid output.
What Nuxt needs.
Every host claims to run Nuxt, so the claim on its own decides nothing. These are the things Nuxt actually requires from the platform underneath it, and what Netlify publishes about each. Netlify documents 2 of the 4.
Max request duration
60 seconds (synchronous); 30 seconds (scheduled); 15 minutes (background)
Nitro server routes and server-side rendering both run per request, bounded by this ceiling.

Edge network
Supported
Nuxt's route rules cache and revalidate at the edge. Without an edge network those rules degrade to origin rendering.

- Edge Functions overview | Netlify Docs ↗
“All this dynamic processing happens in a secure runtime based on Deno directly from the worldwide network edge location closest to each user for fast response times.”

Build minutes
Not documented
Nuxt prerenders routes at build time when asked to, which moves cost from request time into the build allowance.
Scales to zero
Not documented
Nitro can deploy as functions. Scaling to zero removes the idle bill and adds a cold start to the first request instead.

What it costs to run there.
- Entry paid plan
- $9/month for 1,000 credits/month
- Pricing model
- Monthly plan credits are included with your plan each billing cycle and reset at the start of each cycle.
- When you exceed a cap
- Suspended: when credits run out every project is paused and visitors see a Site not available page, unless auto recharge is enabled to buy more credits automatically

- How credits work ↗
“Once your credit balance is completely used up, all of your web projects (sites/apps) are paused and visitors to your web projects will find a `Site not available` page at each of your web project's URLs.”

Whether it suits you.
Teams that want Git-driven deploys onto a global CDN with a managed Postgres database built into the same platform. The free tier is 300 credits a month with a hard limit, so spend cannot surprise you.
Consider something else if…
You need to run containers or long-lived processes — Netlify does not document either.
