Our Tech Stack

Our default React framework. App Router, Server Components, Server Actions.

The base of every UI we ship. React 19 with Compiler enabled when it pays off.

TypeScript everywhere. Strict mode where it doesn't slow the team down.

Utility-first CSS for design systems we can refactor without fear.

The library we choose for admin panels and data-heavy back-offices.

Declarative animations for React: layouts, gestures, page transitions.

When animation timelines and scroll choreography need real control.

Lightweight animation engine — our default for in-view reveals.

When the team or the project already lives in the Vue ecosystem.

Content-heavy sites where shipping less JavaScript is the point.

Node 22 LTS as our production runtime. Bun on dev tooling and CI.

Authentication done right: providers, JWT or DB sessions, edge-ready.

Schema validation at every boundary. Server Actions, forms, API.

Our default ORM. Migrations, types, and Studio out of the box.

Job queues on Redis: scheduling, retries, rate limiting, observability.

Still our pick for stand-alone REST microservices outside Next.js.

When the project lives on edge runtime or needs SQL-builder ergonomics.

Still the right pick for legacy stacks, classic CMS work and shared hosting.

PHP backend when the project or team already lives there.

Where data, scripting or scientific tooling makes Node the wrong fit.

Batteries-included Python framework for admin-heavy backends and data apps.

Lean Python micro-framework for stand-alone APIs and quick prototypes.

Our default relational database. JSONB, full-text, pgvector when needed.

Cache, queues, rate limiting, ephemeral state. Self-hosted on Hetzner.

Vector embeddings inside Postgres. Enough for most RAG projects we ship.

Image and asset uploads for Vercel-hosted apps. Drop-in S3 alternative.

Zero-egress object storage. We move heavy public buckets here.

Cheap, reliable cold storage with Object Lock for ransomware-safe backups.

Where legacy projects or specific tooling demand it.

Document database when the data model is genuinely document-shaped.

Embedded scenarios, CLI tools, on-device caches. Quietly perfect.

Monolithic or headless via WPGraphQL. The right tool more often than people think.

Customizable Studio, real-time collaboration, GROQ. Our pick for editorial sites.

Turns WordPress into a typed GraphQL endpoint. The piece that makes headless sane.

Italian e-commerce with e-invoicing, ERP sync, real catalogue depth.

Self-hosted headless CMS when full data ownership matters.

Our default LLM for agents, RAG, drafting and code review.

Agentic coding inside the terminal. Pairs well with Cursor for our seniors.

Model Context Protocol: the standard we use to wire AI to client systems.

Embeddings and selected completions where it fits the use case.

Low-latency inference for Llama-class models. Cheap and very fast.

Our daily-driver editor. Where most of the team writes code, with or without AI on top.

AI-native IDE. The default for new feature work on our team.

Where the team prefers VS Code with quiet inline completions.

CI/CD where the code already lives. Cache, sharding, self-hosted runners.

Containers everywhere. Compose for self-hosting, multi-stage builds for size.

Faster installs, faster tests, lighter scripts. Production runtime when it fits.

Dependency updates we can actually live with. Grouped, scheduled, testable.

Vulnerability scans for code, containers and IaC inside CI.

Errors, performance and session replay. The first thing we wire on day one.

Frontend session replay and product analytics. We pair it with Sentry for the full UX picture.

Reverse proxy, TLS termination, load balancing. The boring choice that works.

Container orchestration when scale, isolation or compliance really require it.

Enterprise Kubernetes with RBAC, pipelines and operators baked in.

Our default cloud for production VPS, managed databases and predictable bills.

Next.js home turf: previews, edge, image optimization. Default for MVPs and content sites.

Best price/performance in Europe when budget and full server control matter.

When compliance, multi-region or deep managed services justify the complexity.

Our reference NAS for SMBs: DSM, Hyper Backup, snapshots, Active Backup.

Powerful NAS alternative to Synology. Strong on virtualization and 10GbE-ready models.

Modern hardware at aggressive prices. Our pick when raw performance and 10GbE matter on a budget.

Office and production-site networks: switches, Wi-Fi 6/7, gateways, one controller.

Switches, firewalls and access points where Ubiquiti is not the right fit for the deployment.

Business-grade firewalls with SSL/IPSec VPN, WAF and centralized management.

FortiGate firewalls and SD-WAN for clients that need enterprise-grade perimeter security.

Open-source firewall and routing platform on FreeBSD. Our pick for self-hosted perimeter.

Mesh VPN that just works. Zero-config private access for distributed teams.

Ubuntu LTS or Debian. Where the heavy lifting actually happens.

Power protection on every critical node. NUT for ordered shutdowns.

Open-source virtualization for on-prem clusters and homelab clients.

Storage-grade drives we trust in NAS and DAS pools.

IronWolf and Exos drives for high-capacity NAS and on-prem archives.

Pay-in-3, pay-later and full international BNPL coverage where Scalapay falls short.

SMS, WhatsApp Business, voice and OTP at production reliability.

High-volume transactional email with deliverability tooling and detailed analytics.

Transactional and marketing email with EU data residency.

Cookieless, GDPR-friendly analytics. The default we propose to most clients.

Self-hosted analytics on a small VPS when full data ownership matters.

Developer-friendly transactional email. Great DX for one-off sends.
