My Agentic Coding Launch Stack
This is the build stack I reach for when I want an AI-heavy coding loop but still need a real product at the end: terminal agent, repo-aware editor, backend, billing, and deploy path.
I used to deploy new features to all users and hope nothing broke. Now everything ships behind a flag — dark-launch to 1%, roll out to 10%, graduate to everyone with a kill switch always ready.
Workflow stack
The order matters. Start at the top, read down the sequence, and open any step when you want the note behind it.
Data layer
User records, beta group memberships, and flag override configs stored in Postgres — the flag evaluation logic queries the database for user-specific targeting rules.
Open tool profileFeature flags and analytics
Flags, A/B tests, and analytics in one tool — define the rollout percentage and PostHog tracks conversion differences between control and treatment without a separate analytics integration.
Open tool profileBilling
New features behind flags often graduate to paid add-ons — the flag graduation workflow maps naturally to creating a Stripe product and gating access on entitlement.
Open tool profileDeployment
Instant rollbacks on the hosting layer give me a second kill switch if the feature flag alone isn't enough — server-side rendering means flags re-evaluate fresh on every request.
Open tool profileCI gates
Automated tests run against both flag-on and flag-off combinations in CI — a matrix test job catches regressions in both states before anything reaches production.

For builders who want backend primitives without stitching together five services. Auth, database, storage, and functions come from Appwrite while the frontend stays in a normal Next.js app.
