Project Overview
stekom.ac.id is the official web ecosystem for the University of Science and Computer Technology (STEKOM). To handle complex academic portals, continuous news updates, and high traffic spikes during student enrollment, the platform was re-architected using Astro with Server-Side Rendering (SSR). This ensures real-time data fetching without sacrificing the speed and SEO efficiency required by a major educational institution.
Key Architectural Features
- Server-Side Rendering (SSR) & Dynamic Routing: Enabled SSR to deliver personalized, real-time dashboards for students and faculty, as well as instant content hydrations for admission and academic schedules.
- Enterprise-Grade Performance: Utilizing Astro's partial hydration (Island Architecture) to serve zero-JS by default on content pages, significantly reducing server response times (TTFB) and bandwidth costs.
- Robust SEO & Core Web Vitals: Fully optimized for search engines with dynamic JSON-LD schemas, automated sitemaps for institutional articles, and perfect Core Web Vitals scores to dominate local academic search results.
- Secure API Integration: Integrated secure server-side API endpoints connecting directly to the campus academic information system (SIAKAD) and databases, keeping sensitive data protected on the server layer.
Tech Stack Used
- Frontend Framework: Astro (SSR Mode)
- Styling & UI: Tailwind CSS
- Deployment & Server: Node.js Server
- Database & Backend: Connected via Secure Campus REST APIs
