Why we picked it: AI-assisted completions and refactoring sped up feature work and code reviews — especially when wiring analytics and templates. It helped us prototype features faster than hand-searching docs or switching context between editor and browser.

Why we picked it: Flexible document model made storing diverse GitHub metadata (events, stats, user prefs) straightforward and fast to evolve. The developer tooling and scaling story saved us time vs rigid relational schemas when dealing with varied repo/activity shapes.

Why we picked it: Fast developer DX (file-based routing, API routes, and ISR), excellent SEO out of the box, and first-class support for server & client rendering. It let us iterate quickly and ship performant pages without wrestling with build plumbing — smoother than rolling our own SSR or managing separate frontend/backends.

Deploying a full-stack application using Next.js on Vercel is highly efficient.

Setting up my backend on fly.io was super easy!

Shadcn/ui for Next.js is an ideal UI component kit utilized in GitHub Wrapped.
