All 20 articles are filed into 5 clusters. Each cluster has its own hub page, its own markdown twin at erpstack.io/blog/category/<slug>.md, and its own index of the systems its articles work through.
Custom ERP economics and architecture: build-versus-buy arithmetic, NetSuite and Odoo alternatives, and where AI tooling genuinely compresses delivery.
Systems: Oracle NetSuite, SAP, Odoo, Salesforce, HubSpot, PostgreSQL, Drizzle ORM, TypeScript, Next.js, Node.js and 20 more
Reference architectures for enterprise Next.js: multi-tenant isolation, headless ERP module boundaries, and the failure modes each decision introduces.
Systems: Next.js, React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Drizzle ORM, Redis, Apache Kafka, AWS, Vercel, Terraform and 21 more
Measured Next.js performance work: edge middleware latency benchmarks, React Server Component patterns, and their effect on LCP, INP and CLS.
Systems: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Node.js, Vercel, Redis, PostgreSQL, Docker, AWS, JWT and 9 more
HIPAA, GDPR and data-residency engineering for Next.js systems: audit logging, PHI handling, WebSocket transport, and tenant partitioning by region.
Systems: HIPAA, GDPR, RBAC, JWT, PostgreSQL, TypeScript, Apache Kafka, Redis, AWS, Vercel and 13 more
Next.js at B2B SaaS scale: auth, tenancy, billing and RBAC in a starter, the Next.js 16 migration sequence, and what breaks past 100,000 users.

What this index is, who writes it, and how to consume it as a machine.
Engineering Insights is the ERPStack blog: 20 long-form engineering articles on custom ERP architecture, Next.js at enterprise scale, multi-tenant isolation in PostgreSQL, edge performance on Vercel, React Server Components, and the HIPAA and GDPR obligations that shape regulated builds. Articles are filed into 5 clusters — architecture, compliance, erp, nextjs and performance — and each one is written for engineers and technical buyers evaluating a build rather than a subscription.
Every article on Engineering Insights is written and reviewed by Vivek Mishra, ERPStack's founder and principal architect. He is a systems architect working on secure B2B systems and custom ERP platforms, and he founded ERPStack to help companies build software infrastructure they own outright rather than rent per seat. Each article page names him, links to his author page and shows the date he last reviewed the text.
Every article on Engineering Insights carries two dates: the day it was published and the day Vivek Mishra last reviewed it. The most recent article, “The Architecture That Got You to 1k Users Will Kill You at 100k Users”, was published on June 3, 2026. Both dates appear on the article page and in its structured data, so a reader or a retrieval pipeline can judge how current a claim is before quoting it.
Engineering Insights files its 20 articles into 5 clusters: ERP (6), Architecture (4), Performance (4), Compliance (3) and Next.js (3). Each cluster has its own hub page listing every article in it, a reading order, and an index of the systems those articles work through. The index on this page names all of them by title, so nothing is hidden behind pagination.
The 20 articles on Engineering Insights run to 42,782 words in total — roughly 204 minutes of reading, or an average of 2,139 words each. They are long-form on purpose: each one works through a single architectural or commercial decision, states the trade-off, and shows the implementation rather than summarising it. Every article page carries its own word count and estimated reading time before the first chapter.
Yes. Engineering Insights publishes a markdown twin of every page: erpstack.io/blog.md for this index and erpstack.io/blog/<slug>.md for each article. The markdown carries the same text as the HTML, adds a canonical link header pointing back to the HTML URL, and is advertised from each page as a text/markdown alternate. The index is also listed in erpstack.io/llms.txt.
SaaS ERPs charge you recurring per-user license fees forever. As your company grows, your software tax increases. ERPStack hands over complete codebase ownership and deploys to your private cloud. Build once, scale indefinitely with zero license bills.
