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.
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
- When your own frontend is the only client, route handlers next to the UI avoid a second deploy.
- Types flow from the database to the UI.
Common trap
Standing up a separate API service when only your own frontend calls it.
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.
