Platform Technologies

Last updated: April 7, 2026

Katanx achieves zero-latency media delivery and deterministic intelligence routing through a highly optimized, edge-native architecture. This document outlines the primary engineering stack.

Core Compute and Routing

The primary web surface (`apps/web`) is built on Next.js 14 (App Router), running on Vercel's Edge Network. This allows us to push UI states, caching, and middleware logic as close to the practitioner as geographically possible.

Data and Intelligence Layers

  • Database: Supabase (PostgreSQL) handles all relational data, secured deterministically via Row Level Security (RLS) policies.
  • Vector Search: Utilizing pgvector, we compress somatic descriptions and movement analysis into high-dimensional embeddings for semantic retrieval.
  • The Wire Core: A proprietary ingestion engine (`packages/wire-core`) that parses, scores, and routes high-signal intelligence.

Media Infrastructure

We do not rely on standard image CDNs. Our media pipeline utilizes edge-functions to dynamically transcode and deliver HLS video streams, ensuring that practitioners can scrutinize frame-by-frame movement without artifacting.

Mobile Parity

Katanx iOS (`apps/ios`) is built on React Native & Expo, sharing schemas (`@katanx/schemas`) and validation logic with the core web platform. This guarantees 100% type-safety boundary enforcement across both surfaces.
