Seedance 2 on ReelsLab

Building ReelsLab — An AI Video Generation SaaS
I've been building ReelsLab for the past few weeks. The idea is simple: you type a prompt or upload an image, and you get a short AI-generated video back. No complicated setup, no expensive enterprise tier.
The stack is Next.js on the frontend, Cloudflare Workers for the backend, and KIE.AI for the actual video generation. Storage is on R2, the database is D1, and jobs run through Cloudflare Queues. The whole thing sits on Cloudflare's edge, which keeps latency low and costs manageable.
Video generation is async by nature — you submit a request, get a task ID, and wait. So the architecture is built around that. A worker picks up the job, calls the API, polls for completion, downloads the result, and drops it in R2. The user gets notified via Pusher when it's done. Nothing fancy, but it works reliably.
For payments I'm using Stripe with a credits system. You either buy a one-time pack or subscribe monthly. Unused credits roll over into the next month, which I think is fairer than the typical "use it or lose it" approach most tools take.
What's left to build: the Stripe integration is still being wired up, I need to add automatic cleanup for old files in R2, and eventually I want to add a basic in-browser video editor using FFmpeg.wasm so users can trim and splice clips without any server roundtrip.
A few things I'm still figuring out: whether FFmpeg.wasm is good enough for real editing or if I need a server-side approach, and whether the credits rollover mechanic actually drives subscription upgrades or just adds confusion.
If you've built something similar or have opinions on the video editor approach, I'd like to hear it.

Our Content Creation Process

Step 1: Define Article Objective

We start every article with a clear purpose. For this piece, the objective was to share our experience migrating the Flotiq blog from Gatsby to Next.js while providing actionable insights for developers facing similar challenges.

Initial Title: “From Gatsby to Next.js: Why We Migrated Our Blog and How You Can Too.”
Scenario: A detailed guide discussing the migration process, highlighting benefits, challenges, and practical advice.

Step 2: SEO Research and Recommendations

Using SEO tools, we analyzed the competition and identified high-value keywords like Gatsby to Next.js migration. We also determined the ideal word count, suggested headers, and refined the title for search optimization.

Step 3: Content Creation

With the research complete, we wrote the article in Google Docs, following the outlined strategy. This step focused on crafting engaging, actionable content that addresses the needs of developers and technical teams.

Step 4: Publishing and Optimization

The finalized article was moved to Flotiq, where we formatted and enhanced it using the Surfer plugin. This tool helped us fine-tune keyword density, improve readability, and ensure alignment with best practices for on-page SEO.

Step 5: Post-Publication Monitoring

After publishing the article, we monitored its performance. We used the Indexing Status Plugin to confirm that the page was indexed by Google and tracked its ranking for the target keyword. We’re proud to say the article now ranks on the first page of Google for Gatsby to Next.js migration!
