12 · Libraries, Accelerators & Production Shortcuts

Pick fewer, sharper tools; wire them cleanly; keep deployment paths explicit.

Mental Model

  • Prefer well-scoped libraries over mega-stacks; remove unused ones aggressively.
  • Boilerplates are starters, not contracts; align them to the entity-first layout.
  • AI generators are assistants; review outputs and re-run formatter/linter.

Starter Stack (example)

UI: next/font, css vars, (optionally) Tailwind utilities

Forms: react-hook-form + zod (client), server validation in actions

Data: Prisma 7 + SQLite/Postgres (adapter), actions-only access

Auth: next-auth credentials/provider mix

Deployment: Dockerfile + prisma migrate deploy; env from Secrets Manager

AI: OpenAI endpoint wrapper; log prompts/results; store summaries as strings

Cloud & Domains

  • Domains: Namecheap (DNS) → CNAME to host; keep DNS records in code/docs.
  • Deploy: Docker/GCP → run migrations explicitly; mount env secrets; health checks.
  • Backups: DB dump per release; keep seed scripts runnable; tag images.
