Welcome to the Fiscet blog
Notes on building fast, scalable web applications with Next.js and headless CMS — the decisions, trade-offs, and lessons from real client work.
This is where I write about the work behind Fiscet: building custom web applications with Next.js and headless CMS platforms like Payload, Sanity, and Strapi.
Not tutorials. Not commit logs. The decisions — why one approach beats another for a given client, where the trade-offs actually bite, and what I'd do differently next time.
What you'll find here
- Architecture — how to structure a Next.js app so it stays fast as it grows.
- Headless CMS — choosing between Payload, Sanity, and Strapi, and wiring them up cleanly.
- Performance & SEO — the boring parts that decide whether a site actually ranks and converts.
Why a file-based blog
This blog is just markdown files in the repo. No CMS, no database, no admin panel. Every post is a .md file with a bit of frontmatter:
---
slug: my-post
title: "My post"
description: "A short summary."
publishedAt: 2026-06-16

It builds statically, costs nothing to run, and version-controls itself. For a developer blog, that's hard to beat.
More soon.
