Engineering & Security Standards

Our Digital Fortress Protocol

Decoupled Architecture

Our Next.js sites are delivered as static files from a global CDN. There is no database. There is no server-side execution layer. There is no admin panel.

Why this matters: SQL injection is impossible when there's no SQL. Brute-force attacks can't target an admin login that doesn't exist. Your attack surface is reduced by over 90% compared to monolithic CMS platforms.

We don't patch vulnerabilities. We eliminate attack vectors by design.

Edge-First Deployment

Every site we build is deployed to a global edge network. Traffic is distributed across hundreds of nodes worldwide, ensuring sub-100ms response times regardless of user location.

DDoS Protection: Edge networks absorb distributed attacks before they reach your origin. Traffic spikes are handled automatically. There's no single point of failure.

Geographic Resilience: If one region experiences an outage, traffic routes to the nearest available node. Your site stays online.

The 100/100 Benchmark

We commit to maintaining a 100/100 Lighthouse Performance score for every site we build. This isn't aspirational—it's contractual.

Performance Metrics:

  • Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): Under 2.5 seconds
  • First Input Delay (FID): Under 100 milliseconds
  • Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): Under 0.1
  • Total Blocking Time (TBT): Under 200 milliseconds

Sites that don't meet these standards don't ship. It's that simple.

Static Site Generation (SSG)

All content is pre-rendered at build time. When a user visits, they receive pure HTML. No database queries. No server-side processing. No JavaScript execution delays.

Benefits:

  • Instant page loads (under 200ms Time to First Byte)
  • Zero server costs (served from CDN)
  • Infinite scalability (no server capacity limits)
  • Perfect uptime (no server to crash)

Security Hardening

Every build includes:

  • Content Security Policy (CSP): Prevents XSS attacks by restricting resource loading
  • HTTPS Enforcement: All traffic encrypted in transit
  • Security Headers: X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy
  • Dependency Scanning: Automated vulnerability detection in build pipeline

We don't wait for vulnerabilities to be discovered. We engineer them out of existence.

Code Quality Standards

Every line of code is:

  • Type-checked (TypeScript strict mode)
  • Linted (ESLint with Next.js rules)
  • Tested (automated build verification)
  • Optimized (tree-shaking, code-splitting, minification)

We don't ship technical debt. We ship production-ready code.

Continuous Monitoring

Post-launch, we monitor:

  • Performance scores (automated Lighthouse audits)
  • Uptime (99.99% SLA target)
  • Security headers (automated compliance checks)
  • Dependency updates (automated patch notifications)

If performance degrades or a vulnerability is discovered, we're notified immediately. Proactive, not reactive.
