Architecture Patterns for LegalTech

Standard Next.js architecture patterns

Pattern 2

Best practices for LegalTech implementations

Pattern 3

Scalable design for LegalTech workloads

Performance

Leverage automatic code splitting, use Suspense for streaming, implement proper image optimization, minimize client-side JavaScript, use edge middleware for latency-sensitive operations.

Security

Implement middleware for route protection, use Server Actions with proper validation, secure API routes with authentication checks, never expose sensitive environment variables to client.

Scaling

Vercel handles scaling automatically for most use cases. Self-hosting requires proper CDN and edge caching. Consider ISR with on-demand revalidation for high-traffic dynamic content.
