Engineering
A stack chosen for year three, not demo day.
We standardise on a deliberately small, modern toolchain — typed end-to-end, boring where it should be boring, and chosen so that everything we ship can be maintained for years.
Principles
Why these tools and not others.
A stack is a set of promises about maintainability, hiring, performance and cost. These are the promises we're making — and how the toolchain keeps them.
Typed end-to-end
One language and one type system from database to interface. Fewer translation layers, fewer places for defects to hide.
Own the core, rent the edges
Business logic and data models are ours; commodity concerns — auth, hosting, content — go to best-in-class managed services.
Performance as a feature
Server rendering, streaming and disciplined bundles. Speed is credibility, especially on mobile networks across our markets.
Built to hand over
Every system is documented and structured so a competent team could take it over — which is exactly why clients don't need to.
Proof
We ship on what we recommend.
This website, the Home8 platform, IrmikHR and our client systems all run on the same toolchain described above. When we recommend a stack, we're recommending our own daily reality — with all its trade-offs known first-hand.
Next step
Debate architecture with us.
Bring your current stack and your constraints. We enjoy this conversation — and we'll defend every choice above on the whiteboard.
