# Technical Architecture

<figure><img src="/files/Y4wmBQKjI2CGovEZYzVY" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### **Overview**

Eitherway’s architecture enables AI with real execution control over a full-stack development environment, entirely within the browser.

It functions as a live, sandboxed operating system where applications are built, executed, deployed, and maintained within a single environment.

### **Frontend Stack**

| Layer            | Technology / Capability               |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| Frameworks       | React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte           |
| Rendering        | Client-side and server-side rendering |
| Styling          | Tailwind CSS, component libraries     |
| State Management | Context API, Zustand, Redux           |
| Editor Interface | In-browser IDE with live preview      |

### **Backend Stack**

| Layer          | Technology / Capability                            |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| Runtime        | Node.js (WebContainer environment)                 |
| Database       | PostgreSQL (via integrated services like Supabase) |
| Authentication | Built-in auth systems                              |
| Storage        | File storage and asset handling                    |
| APIs           | Auto-generated REST and service endpoints          |

***

### **Infrastructure Layer**

| Component  | Capability                                     |
| ---------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| Execution  | In-browser WebContainer runtime                |
| Deployment | Integrated deployment + external providers     |
| Storage    | Persistent and decentralized storage options   |
| Hosting    | Live application hosting                       |
| Web3       | Smart contracts, wallets, on-chain interaction |

***

### **AI Orchestration Layer**

The system operates across four stages:

**Prompt Parsing**\
Understands user intent, requirements, and structure

**Build Planning**\
Generates architecture, dependencies, and file structure

**Command Execution**\
Executes commands directly within the runtime environment

**Iterative Refinement**\
Continuously updates based on live preview and system feedback
