This website — engineering stack

KVM VPS · nginx · .NET · Next.js

The public site is a Next.js 15 app (React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS 4) running on Node.js under PM2. Traffic hits a KVM-based VPS first; nginx terminates TLS (Let's Encrypt), proxies to Node, and can front other services. Backend and data work use ASP.NET with ADO.NET for database access—the same kind of production layering Aron Canapa applies to dependable systems on the floor and in the cloud.
