The Forge Connect

Posted on 2 April 20262 April 2026 by Marcos Rego

A finance community formed trough events. I developed this website using Strapi and NextJS while working at Rydoo.

The Forge Connect events are organized by Rydoo, the company where I’ve been working since 2020.

This was the first website I developed using Strapi Headless CMS for backend and the React framework NextJS SSG (Static Site Generator) for frontend.

This new and flexible tech stack for me, allows to develop very high performative and scalable websites, in a moment where Google Page Speed Insights are more demanding and WordPress became more difficult to optimize to the standards. The results are visible:
