Building a scalable, global-ready MVP from day one is a daunting challenge for many startups. The choice of technology stack can make or break your app's worldwide success. In our experience developing 100+ MVPs, we've found that combining NextJS, Supabase, and Stripe offers a powerful, efficient solution.
1. The Challenge of Internationalization
Building an app that works seamlessly for users worldwide requires dealing with localization, multi-currency support, and international regulations. Traditional software stacks often fall short in these areas.
Better approach:
- Choose a stack designed for global scalability from the outset.
- Consider technologies like NextJS, Supabase, and Stripe.
2. Why NextJS, Supabase, and Stripe?
NextJS offers an efficient framework for building server-rendered React apps. Supabase provides a realtime, auto-scaling backend. Stripe simplifies global payments.
Do this instead:
- Use NextJS for rapid prototyping and SEO benefits.
- Deploy Supabase for easy backend management.
- Integrate Stripe for handling international transactions.
Founder Checklist
