Web & Application Development
Cadenic Studios designs and builds web applications on a typed Next.js and PostgreSQL stack, deployed on infrastructure the client owns. That means customer portals, booking and scheduling systems, dashboards, internal tools, marketplaces and SaaS products.
Software with accounts, roles, real data and someone's business running through it. The schema comes before the screens. The admin surface is one a non-engineer can operate on a Tuesday afternoon, and the deploy is one anyone on your team can perform.
What it gets hired to build
8 kinds of project
- Customer portals and member areas
- Booking, scheduling and reservation systems
- Dashboards and reporting tools
- Internal and operations tooling
- Marketplaces and multi-tenant products
- SaaS applications with subscription billing
- Content platforms with a real editing workflow
- API integrations between systems that were never meant to talk
That list shows the shape of the work. It is neither complete nor a menu of packages. If what you are building is not on it, the question is whether it is the same kind of problem, and that is a short conversation.
Most of what gets called a website is a brochure. We build the other kind: software with accounts, roles, real data and someone's business running through it. That means a schema designed before the screens, permissions the database itself enforces, background jobs that keep working when nobody is watching, and an admin surface a non-engineer can actually operate on a Tuesday afternoon. It also means the boring parts are done. Migrations run in order, environments match, anyone on your team can perform a deploy, and a written runbook keeps the knowledge from being trapped in whoever built it.
What is under all of it
Three depths, in the order they get designed. Pick one.
01 — Data
The layer that outlives every redesign above it. It gets designed before a single screen does, because a schema chosen late is a schema you pay for twice.
- Relational schema with versioned, ordered migrations
- Permissions enforced in the database, not the browser
- Background jobs, queues and scheduled work
- Backups and a restore someone has actually run
What you get
- 01Next.js App Router application, TypeScript end to end
- 02PostgreSQL schema with row-level security and versioned migrations
- 03Authentication, roles and an operator-facing admin surface
- 04Scheduled jobs, webhooks and third-party API integration
- 05Automated checks, preview deployments and a written runbook
- 06Handover to your repository, your hosting, your accounts
Stack
- Next.js
- React
- TypeScript
- PostgreSQL
- Supabase
- Tailwind CSS
- Vercel
Proof
Two pieces of work for this service, both live and both ours. Either one opens in a click.
Evidence 01
Scorebug is a working application, not a brochure. Nineteen leagues run off one central registry and one Next.js codebase. Photos and ticket stubs sit in a private bucket behind signed URLs, and the rules that guard them are enforced in Postgres policies, well below the client. League news is aggregated by scheduled edge functions, so the upstream APIs are never in the request path of a page load.
- leagues covered
- 19
- sports, one code path
- 7
- earliest season on record
- 2002
- Row-level security on every table, through a dedicated hardening pass
- Edge functions on pg_cron, so pages read a warm cache and never the upstream API
- Seven sports and Formula 1 on one code path, with season data reaching back to 2002
Evidence 02
playdeltav.space is the same discipline pointed at live data. There are twenty-eight routes, almost none of them static, and twelve route handlers behind them. Planet distances are computed from orbital elements at request time, with no feed involved, and the globes are rendered from topology data with d3-geo on the server, so no map tiles are ever requested.
28 routes, almost none of them static · 366 days of almanac, cross-linked · 60 launch vehicles on the register
- A cache policy decided per readout: the station covers about seventy-seven kilometres in ten seconds, so its read is cached for ten
- Sixty launch vehicles, a 366-day almanac and an upcoming-launch manifest, generated and cross-linked
- Dynamic social cards, calendar export and a headless storefront on the same codebase
Where it stopsScorebug is live on the web and its Android build is in closed testing. playdeltav.space is live. Both applications are first-party. The studio designed, built and operates them itself, which is a different claim from a case study about somebody else's project, and we say which one it is.

The architecture is written out in full, including the four places the registry does not reach and the silently empty news feed that came out of one of them. Read it before hiring us; it is the same reasoning you would be buying.

The rest of the practice
Three more, same discipline
Cadenic Studios runs five services and they are the same practice pointed at different surfaces. Most projects touch more than one.
- 02Growth & Revenue EngineeringPages that go and find the audience, generated from your own data and measured.
- 03Native App DevelopmentGet the app into the store, with the billing and the release process handled.
- 04Headless CommerceOwn the storefront; leave the catalogue, the checkout and the money where they are.
- 05Discord & Community EngineeringA server built from a script, a bot that answers from your live data, and an address you own.
Method
How a project runs
The same five steps for every service. Nothing is committed to a build until the scope is written down and agreed. The studio page sets all five out in full, with what each one produces.
