Rules-First Architecture: Building on Proven Patterns

Custom solutions slow you down and create maintenance nightmares. Rules-first architecture means building on proven patterns, established frameworks, and battle-tested libraries. No technology experiments on client projects.

Why Custom Is a Trap

Every custom solution you build is a solution you now have to maintain. Authentication? There are proven libraries. State management? Solved problems. API design? Established patterns work.

Custom code means custom bugs, custom documentation, custom onboarding for new developers. It means reinventing wheels that the industry has already perfected.

Our Technology Stack

We use the same proven stack across all projects:

  • <strong>Frontend</strong>: React Native for mobile, Next.js for web
  • <strong>Backend</strong>: Node.js with TypeScript
  • <strong>Database</strong>: PostgreSQL with proper indexing
  • <strong>Infrastructure</strong>: Modern cloud platforms with standard tooling

This isn't because we lack creativity. It's because these tools work. They scale. They have massive communities. They have solved the edge cases you haven't encountered yet.

The Velocity Advantage

Using proven patterns means parallel execution. When frontend and backend teams both know the patterns, they can work simultaneously against clear contracts. No waiting for custom solutions to be figured out.

It means onboarding is fast. Junior developers recognize the patterns. Senior developers respect them. Everyone ships faster.

Production-Tested, Not Bleeding-Edge

We use technology that has been proven in production across thousands of applications. Not what's trendy on Hacker News. Not what won a programming award. What actually works when users are hitting your endpoints at 3 AM.
