pgvector Requirements
- PostgreSQL 15+ recommended (14+ minimum)
- Prisma: use
$queryRawUnsafe for ::vector cast (not $queryRaw)
- Index type: IVFFlat (fast, approximate) or HNSW (slower build, faster query)
- Dimension limit: 2000 (OpenAI ada-002 = 1536, text-embedding-3-small = 1536)
Next.js + NestJS Integration Rules
NEXT_PUBLIC_* vars baked at BUILD time — not runtime- Docker Compose reads
.env NOT .env.production
- Behind nginx: set
AUTH_TRUST_HOST=true for NextAuth
- API routes:
export const dynamic = "force-dynamic" (no DB at build)
- Mixed content: always use domain URL, never IP:port
Docker Networking
- Shared network: all services can resolve by container name
- Port mapping:
host:container — host port must be free
- DNS: container names as hostnames (e.g.,
tip-postgres, tip-redis)
- Health checks: always add for DB and Redis before app starts

Anti-Compatible Combinations (DO NOT MIX)
| Bad Combo |
Why |
Use Instead |
| TypeORM + Prisma in same project |
Conflicting migration systems |
Pick one ORM |
| Express + NestJS (raw) |
NestJS wraps Express internally |
Use NestJS decorators |
| Redux + Zustand in same project |
Two state managers fighting |
Pick one |
| Mongoose + Prisma MongoDB |
Two ODMs, schema conflicts |
Pick one |
| Webpack + Vite in same project |
Two bundlers |
Vite (modern) or Webpack (legacy) |
| npm + pnpm in same project |
Lock file conflicts |
Pick one package manager |
| .env.local + .env.production + .env |
Loading order confusion |
Use .env only in Docker |
Migration Paths
Express → NestJS
- Create NestJS project alongside
- Move routes → controllers one by one
- Move middleware → guards/interceptors
- Move services → injectable providers
- Test each migration step
Redux → Zustand
- Create Zustand store matching Redux state shape
- Replace
useSelector → Zustand selectors
- Replace
dispatch(action) → store methods
- Remove Redux boilerplate (reducers, action creators)
Pages Router → App Router (Next.js)
- Move
pages/api/* → app/api/*/route.ts
- Move
pages/*.tsx → app/*/page.tsx
- Add
'use client' to interactive components
- Replace
getServerSideProps → server components
- Replace
getStaticProps → generateStaticParams
