What we do
Here at Tangent, we’re proud to partner with Umbraco to deliver the highest quality of digital products for our clients. We don’t hang about either - in 90 days or less, we’ll push past the concept stage to get your MVP up and running in your customer’s hands, allowing you to truly experience your product in the real world.
Once it’s out there, our cross-discipline teams can also help you analyse the performance of your product, develop a prioritised backlog of improvements and deliver it through a programme of continuous development.
How we do it
We used to create monolithic instances of Umbraco hosted in Azure and built in .NET Framework and Razor. However, we’ve now moved things to a JAMStack (JavaScript, API and Markup) architecture using Umbraco’s headless CMS, Umbraco Heartcore. Using this framework, we pre-render the front markup using Node, React and an application framework like Next.js or Gatsby. This results in lightning fast, secure sites that are easy to globally distribute and don’t cost a fortune to host. We then create a highly available microservice architecture to handle all of our backend heavy lifting which provides the data to the decoupled front application via an API - normally GraphQL. We love it!
