Web Stack Guide

Use this guide when a web path is the clearest low-friction fit, not just because the stack is popular.

The default ORCA Framework web stack bias is:

• Next.js
• Vercel
• Supabase
• Stripe
• Resend
• PostHog
• Sentry

Why This Is The Default

• strong documentation and adoption
• fast deploy and preview workflows
• clear auth, database, and edge-function paths
• straightforward analytics and monitoring layering

Key Web Decisions

• Vercel versus Cloudflare versus Railway hosting path
• Vercel deploy guardrails (slug naming, linking, SPA rewrites): see docs/deploy/vercel-guardrails.md
• Supabase versus thinner Postgres-only backend
• Stripe versus Paddle or LemonSqueezy for billing
• PostHog versus lighter analytics
