Our default stack for a new enterprise app
The frameworks, CI setup, and monitoring we reach for on day one of a new build.
Every new build starts from the same foundation. Not because we're dogmatic, but because a boring, proven stack lets us spend our attention on the parts of the product that are actually novel.
The frame
Next.js for the app, with server components keeping the data layer close to the UI
TypeScript everywhere, including the database models and server actions
A single Postgres or Mongo instance until scale genuinely demands more
Day-one operational hygiene
Before we write a feature, we wire up the things that are painful to add later:
CI that runs typecheck, lint, and tests on every push
Error monitoring and structured logging
Preview deployments so every branch is clickable
It costs a day. It saves the project from the class of bug that only shows up in production at the possible time.
Tell us the goal, the constraints, and who signs off. We scope it against real delivery capacity and ship the first build in weeks.
