Software - Modern Stack Integration

Verified compatibility matrix and integration patterns for the modern development stack

We show how these tools work together and point you to official documentation for each.

What This Page Provides

Verified Stack Compatibility: We test and verify that Next.js 15.5.4 + React 19.2.0 + TypeScript 5.9.2 + Node.js 24.8.0 work together as of October 2025.

Integration Patterns: Each tool page shows how it integrates with the rest of the stack, not just isolated features.

Official Resources: We link to official documentation (nextjs.org, react.dev, etc.) for API details and latest updates.

Software implements Systems, delivers Solutions, and runs on Services.
