This blueprint outlines a high-performance integration between Next.js 15 (App Router), a PostgreSQL database via Prisma ORM v7.0 (2026 stable), and AWS S3 via SDK v4.0. It prioritizes the use of Server Actions, Edge-compatible runtime configurations, and type-safe data fetching while maintaining a singleton pattern for client instances to prevent resource exhaustion in serverless environments.
