What technology stack does Republic Labs use?
Republic Labs uses React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, GraphQL, Docker, AWS, Vercel, Redis, React Native, Flutter, Swift, Kotlin, and Figma across its web, mobile, design, data, and cloud work.
Why does Republic Labs use React and Next.js?
React supports flexible, interactive interfaces, while Next.js provides structured routing, server-side rendering, performance-focused delivery, and an SEO-friendly foundation for modern web products.
Can Republic Labs build both web and mobile products?
Yes. The team builds responsive websites and web applications as well as mobile experiences using React Native, Flutter, Swift, and Kotlin, depending on the product and platform requirements.
Which databases and cloud tools are available?
The technology set includes PostgreSQL and MongoDB for structured and document data, Redis for caching, GraphQL and APIs for connected systems, and Docker, AWS, and Vercel for deployment and scalable infrastructure.
How do you choose the right technology for a project?
The team considers product goals, user needs, performance, integrations, maintainability, delivery speed, and expected growth before selecting a practical technology stack.
Do you use TypeScript for all projects?
TypeScript is used on projects where type safety meaningfully reduces runtime errors and improves maintainability — typically larger web applications, SaaS platforms, and products with multiple contributors. For simpler or faster-moving projects, JavaScript may be the more pragmatic choice.
What is the difference between React Native and Flutter?
React Native uses JavaScript and renders to native platform components, making it a natural extension for teams with React experience. Flutter uses Dart and renders through its own engine, which gives more consistent visual output across platforms. Both are strong choices for cross-platform mobile development — the right pick depends on team expertise, performance needs, and UI complexity.
How does Republic Labs handle deployment and infrastructure?
Most web projects are deployed on Vercel for its Next.js-native edge delivery, or on AWS for more complex infrastructure requirements. Docker is used for containerisation and environment consistency. CI/CD pipelines via GitHub Actions ensure reliable, automated delivery.
