Next.js
Next.js is Vercel's React framework with file-based routing, server components, route-level data fetching, and edge-runnable middleware. TantraDev ships Next.js for marketing surfaces, dashboards, and customer-facing storefronts where SEO, server-rendering, and developer ergonomics need to coexist. This site itself is a Next.js App Router build.
Concepts that travel with this one.
Architecture rarely lives in isolation — these are the terms that come up in the same conversation.
React
React is Meta's component-driven UI library — the runtime under nearly every modern web frontend TantraDev ships. We use React with TypeScript by default, with Server Components where the platform supports them and React Native where the same product needs to ship to iOS and Android with one team. The library is a tool; the design system around it is the deliverable.
TypeScript
TypeScript is JavaScript with a structural type system — Microsoft's open-source compiler that catches whole classes of refactor regressions at build time instead of in production. TantraDev writes TypeScript in strict mode on every new codebase. The discipline is not the types themselves; it is that the contract between two services or two layers becomes the documentation.
Building a system where Next.js is the load-bearing decision?
