A practical walkthrough of how Know Nepal's Next.js frontend, Spring Boot backend, PostgreSQL database, and scheduled jobs work together to serve a request.
Know Nepal runs as a Next.js frontend on Vercel, a Spring Boot modular monolith on Render, and PostgreSQL on Supabase. This article follows a request through each layer — where the API proxy sits, when the database is actually queried, and how scheduled jobs differ from a normal visit.
