Borchani Tech Stack: What Your AI App Is Built With
A deep look at the exact tech stack Borchani generates - React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind, shadcn/ui, Postgres, and auth - and why each choice means...
When you build an app with Borchani, you are not getting a black box. You get a real codebase on a modern, well-understood stack - the same stack a senior engineer would pick for a new production project in 2026. This page documents exactly what Borchani generates under the hood, and why each piece was chosen.
TL;DR
- Every Borchani app is React 19 + TypeScript + Tailwind CSS, with shadcn/ui components pre-wired.
- The backend ships with a real Postgres database and authentication already configured - no third-party setup.
- You own 100% of the code. Export it, read it, change it, and deploy it anywhere. No proprietary runtime, no lock-in.
The frontend: React 19 + TypeScript
Borchani generates standard React 19 applications written in TypeScript - not a visual-builder export, not a proprietary component format. If you have ever read a React codebase, you will recognize every file.
- React 19 for the UI layer, using function components and hooks. No class components, no legacy patterns.
- TypeScript throughout. Every component is typed, every prop has an interface, and the data models are described as types - so your editor catches mistakes before they ship.
- Vite as the build tool, which means fast local dev and instant hot-module reload when you take the code into your own environment.
The point of typed code is not academic. It is what lets a human developer pick up the project later and extend it without guessing. That is the difference between a prototype you throw away and a foundation you build on.
Styling: Tailwind CSS + shadcn/ui
Borchani styles every app with Tailwind CSS and ships the full shadcn/ui component library pre-installed.
- Tailwind keeps styling in the markup, so there are no orphaned CSS files drifting out of sync with your components.
- shadcn/ui gives you 50+ accessible, customizable components - dialogs, dropdowns, tables, forms, toasts - that live inside your repo as editable source, not as a locked dependency. You can open any component and change it.
This combination is why Borchani apps look polished without a designer: the defaults are professional, and the building blocks are consistent across the whole app.
The backend: Postgres + auth, pre-wired
This is where Borchani separates itself from frontend-only AI builders. Every app comes with the backend already standing up:
- A real Postgres database with a schema generated from your description. Tables, relationships, and types are created for you.
- Authentication wired in by default - sign-up, login, and protected routes - without you registering for a separate auth provider or pasting config files.
- API routes generated alongside the frontend, so data actually flows end to end instead of being faked with local state.
You describe the feature in plain English; Borchani decides the data shape, writes the migration, and connects it to the UI.
Deployment: a live URL in one click
When you hit Deploy, Borchani provisions hosting, a CDN, and HTTPS automatically, and gives you a live URL in about 30 seconds. Because the output is standard React + Vite, you are never trapped:
- Export to GitHub with one click and run your own CI/CD.
- Deploy the same code to Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare, AWS, or your own server.
- Download the full source as a ZIP at any time.
There is no Borchani runtime that your app depends on after export. The code stands on its own.
Why this stack, and why it matters
The whole stack is deliberately boring in the best way - every choice is a mainstream, well-documented technology that thousands of engineers already know:
| Layer | Choice | Why |
|---|---|---|
| UI | React 19 | The most widely used UI library; easy to hire for and extend |
| Language | TypeScript | Catches errors early; makes handoff to humans safe |
| Styling | Tailwind + shadcn/ui | Polished defaults, editable source, no lock-in |
| Database | Postgres | Battle-tested, relational, production-grade |
| Auth | Built-in | Secure by default, zero third-party setup |
| Hosting | One-click, portable | Deploy anywhere; export anytime |
The result is code you can actually live with: readable, typed, conventional, and yours. That is the entire philosophy behind Borchani - build it with AI, but ship something a developer would be happy to maintain.
Frequently asked questions
Does Borchani lock me into a proprietary framework? No. The output is standard React 19 + TypeScript + Vite. There is no proprietary runtime, and you can export and deploy the code anywhere.
Can I edit the generated code by hand? Yes. Everything - components, API routes, the database schema, shadcn/ui components - is plain source in your repo. Edit it directly or keep iterating through Borchani in plain English.
What database does Borchani use? A real Postgres database, with a schema generated from your description. You are not limited to a toy data store or browser-only state.
Do I need to set up authentication separately? No. Auth is wired in by default, including sign-up, login, and protected routes, without registering for a separate provider.
Where can I deploy a Borchani app? Anywhere that runs a standard React + Vite app - Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare, AWS, or your own server. One-click deploy and GitHub export are both built in.
