What we build

Three classes of web app we ship every week

SaaS dashboards, internal tools, customer-facing portals. All three run on the same front-end stack — the difference lives in the data model.

Default stack for a new web app

LayerDefault pick
FrameworkNext.js 16 · App RouterSSR, ISR and edge-ready — one render strategy per route, no frontend/backend split.
LanguageTypeScript strictCompiler-enforced API contracts, no mystery runtime errors.
UITailwind v4 · shadcnToken-driven, no CSS drift, design-system-compliant out of the repo.
DatatRPC or REST + ZodType-safe wire between server and client without GraphQL overhead.
AuthNextAuth · WorkOS · ClerkSSO, MFA and SCIM are enterprise table stakes — not quarterly roadmap items.
HostingVercel · AWS · self-hosted K8sWherever your compliance line is, that is where the deploy runs. No forced platform.
