A high-performance, i18n-native personal engineering platform & research hub.
Live Demo β’ Architecture β’ Getting Started β’ Ph.D. Context
braviaprime.com is a full-stack engineering portfolio and technical publishing platform built with Next.js 16 (App Router & Turbopack). Designed with production-grade reliability, internationalization, and deterministic performance in mind, this project serves as both a digital presence and a sandbox for testing modern web infrastructure, distributed caching, and component architectures.
- High-Performance System Design: Engineered to achieve near-100 Lighthouse scores across Performance, Accessibility, and SEO metrics.
- Strict Type Safety & Code Quality: Pure TypeScript implementation with full schema validation (
t3-env), automated quality gates (Lefthook), and unit/E2E test suites (Vitest,Playwright). - Global Localization (i18n): Multi-language routing and message management across English, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, and Chinese locales.
| Domain | Technologies Used |
|---|---|
| Framework & Core | Next.js 16 (App Router), TypeScript, Bun Runtime |
| Database & Cache | Drizzle ORM, PostgreSQL, Redis (Upstash) |
| API Layer | oRPC, Next.js Server Actions, t3-env Validation |
| Content Engine | MDX, Shiki (Syntax Highlighting), Content Collections |
| Internationalization | next-intl (Multi-locale Routing) |
| Auth & Security | Better Auth, Upstash Rate Limiting |
| UI & Animation | Base UI, Tailwind CSS, Motion (Framer Motion) |
| Testing & CI/CD | Vitest, Playwright, ESLint, Prettier, Lefthook |
- Built on top of accessible primitives (Base UI) paired with custom Tailwind design tokens.
- Light & Dark theme support with automatic system-preference detection.
- Interactive MDX components with live code blocks, image zoom, and dynamic Table of Contents generation.
- Caching Layer: Redis caching for dynamic views, comment aggregation, and real-time Spotify API stats.
- Rate Limiting: Distributed sliding-window rate limiting via Upstash to protect API routes.
- Edge SEO: Dynamic Open Graph image generation (
next/og), structured JSON-LD schemas, and automated RSS/Sitemap generation.
- Interactive Comments & Likes: Custom-built nested comment system with optimistic UI updates and like counters.
- Transactional Emails: Responsive HTML email templates (
React Email) for reply/comment notifications. - System Monitoring: Integrated Umami analytics for privacy-focused site metrics.
