The app is built on Next.js 16 App Router with React Server Components, so pages are rendered server-side and no unnecessary JavaScript is shipped to the client — the result is fast page loads. All TMDB data (movies, shows, cast, trailers, platforms) flows through a single typed API layer (src/lib/tmdb.ts) that handles Bearer token authentication and gives the whole app type safety in TypeScript. Pages use Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) for caching, so the app does not hit the TMDB API on every request. Styling is done with Tailwind CSS in a custom dark theme, and API keys are managed securely through environment variables with the project under git version control.
