A fast PHP server-rendered UK merchant catalogue platform built by AKADATA for real traffic, real products, and long-term ownership.
What AZ2 is
AZ2 has been migrated from Node, Tailwind, and TypeScript to a fast PHP server-rendered platform built for real traffic, real products, and long-term ownership.
The platform aggregates UK merchant products, vouchers, and deal pages into a clean catalogue that search engines can read and users can browse without unnecessary client-side bloat.
Why AKADATA built it
AZ2 proves a point: modern websites do not have to become bloated, fragile, or expensive to operate. With careful engineering, PHP SSR, owned infrastructure, and clear security boundaries, a site can be fast, measurable, private, and practical.
What problem it solves
It filters automation, protects merchant outlinks, and keeps the public experience fast while handling production traffic (see the live site for current figures).
Current status
AZ2 is live and serving real traffic. It is no longer a shell waiting for JavaScript to become useful — it is real HTML, rendered server-side, with infrastructure kept simple, inspectable, and under direct control.
AZ2 is not vibe-coded. It is value-coded.
