What would a dev do?

A few questions about what you're building, then the playbook a developer would reach for — and when to skip it.

An API or backend serviceTypeScript Start over

A dev would reach for

Next.js + Postgres + Prisma + Vercel

The default choice when you need SEO, server rendering, and typed database access in one codebase.

Why this fits

  • TypeScript end to end, with Prisma for typed Postgres access.

There's no dedicated TypeScript-backend playbook yet. Next.js route handlers are the closest fit when the API sits next to a web UI; for a standalone service, a lighter framework may suit better.

Check this before you commit

Skip if your app is a purely internal dashboard behind a login — the server rendering cost buys you SEO you will never use.
