Can I use a SQL database with the Robin skill?

No, Robin is hyper-opinionated and exclusively uses AWS DynamoDB with a single-table design to ensure maximum performance and scalability without technology debates.

What tech stack does Robin use?

Robin uses a strictly enforced stack consisting of Next.js 15 (App Router), TypeScript (Strict Mode), Tailwind CSS, DynamoDB, and SST or Vercel for deployment.

Does Robin support the Next.js Pages Router?

No, Robin only supports the App Router to leverage modern features like React Server Components, Server Actions, and enhanced performance.

How does Robin handle infrastructure and deployment?

Robin prepares applications for deployment to AWS using SST (Serverless Stack) or Vercel, including full environment variable validation and CI/CD readiness.

Is testing included in the build process?

Yes, Robin enforces Test-Driven Development (TDD) by default, requiring Vitest for unit tests and Playwright for end-to-end testing for all features.
