Himachal Kesari

The same Hindi publishing platform, deployed for Himachal Pradesh behind Cloudflare.

The engineering

A second tenant of the same Next.js publishing platform, this one served through Cloudflare (server: cloudflare, x-powered-by: Next.js) with the heaviest editorial payload of the three regional editions and the same NewsMediaOrganization / SearchAction structured-data graph.

In plain language

Gives Himachal Pradesh its own Hindi news brand without rebuilding the publishing system from scratch.

The problem

What needed solving

Launching a second regional edition is where most publishing projects go wrong: the usual answer is to clone the codebase, and from that point every fix has to be applied twice.

The approach

How it was built

  • Run the new edition as another tenant of the existing platform rather than a forked codebase, so a fix ships to every edition at once.

  • Keep per-edition branding, sections and structured-data identity configurable instead of hard-coded.

  • Put Cloudflare in front of the origin so cacheable pages are served close to the reader.

The outcome

What it produced

  • A new regional edition launches as configuration, not as a fork.
  • One codebase, one deployment pipeline, three published mastheads.
