Full-stack web — production architecture

For Grapevine’s web application I deploy on Vercel and structure the codebase so the UI never talks to the database directly: React components call TanStack Query hooks, which use a shared HTTP client (with auth token injection) against Next.js API routes. Routes delegate to use cases (validation and business rules), and repositories are the only layer that use Firestore, via the Firebase Admin SDK.

│  UI Layer (React Components)        │  ← Never touches database

│  Feature Hooks (TanStack Query)     │  ← State management
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│  HTTP Client (apiFetch)             │  ← Auth token injection
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│  API Routes (Next.js)               │  ← API boundary
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│  Use Cases (Business Logic)         │  ← Validation & rules
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│  Repositories (Data Access)         │  ← ONLY place with Firestore
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│  Firestore (Database)               │  ← Firebase Admin SDK
