# 성능 최적화가 필수적인 대규모 다중 테마 플랫폼

## 매 한 줄
> **"매 다중 테마 platform — 매 50+ 의 tenant brand 의 동시 serving — 매 CSS 의 cardinality explosion, 매 build size, 매 runtime switching 의 3중 문제"**. 매 naive approach (매 brand 별 separate CSS bundle) 의 매 build time exponential 폭증 + 매 tenant 의 추가 의 redeploy. 매 modern 해결 (2026): CSS custom properties + design token system + runtime theming + edge-cached CSS.

## 매 핵심

### 매 Multi-tenant Theming 의 challenge
- **Build complexity** — 매 brand × variant × feature flag 의 polynomial 의 CSS variant.
- **Bundle size** — 매 tenant 별 CSS 의 ship → 매 cache miss.
- **Runtime switching** — 매 user 의 brand toggle (preview, white-label admin).
- **Style isolation** — 매 tenant A 의 CSS 의 tenant B 의 affect X.
- **Brand consistency** — 매 design token 의 single source of truth.

### 매 Modern Architecture (2026)
1. **Design token JSON** — 매 brand 별 token (color, spacing, typography, radius).
2. **Token build** (Style Dictionary, Tokens Studio) → CSS variables.
3. **Single CSS bundle** — 매 모든 brand 의 fallback variable.
4. **Runtime theme injection** — 매 `<html data-brand="acme">` + 매 brand-specific `:root` block.
5. **Edge caching** — Cloudflare Workers 의 brand-aware CSS serving.

### 매 Performance Pillar
- **CSS variable 의 사용** — 매 brand swap 의 매 reflow 의 X (매 paint 만).
- **Container queries** — 매 component-scoped responsive, 매 tenant layout 의 격리.
- **CSS containment** — 매 brand widget 의 layout boundary.
- **Server-rendered initial brand** — 매 FOUC 의 방지.

## 💻 패턴

### Pattern 1: Design Token → CSS Variables
```json
// tokens/acme.json
{
  "color": {
    "primary": { "value": "#ff5500" },
    "background": { "value": "#ffffff" },
    "text": { "value": "#222222" }
  },
  "radius": { "md": { "value": "8px" } }
}
```

```js
// build/style-dictionary.config.js
module.exports = {
  source: ['tokens/**/*.json'],
  platforms: {
    css: {
      transformGroup: 'css',
      buildPath: 'dist/css/',
      files: [{
        destination: 'tokens.css',
        format: 'css/variables',
        options: { outputReferences: true },
      }]
    }
  }
};
```

```css
/* dist/css/tokens.css (compiled) */
[data-brand="acme"] {
  --color-primary: #ff5500;
  --color-background: #ffffff;
  --radius-md: 8px;
}
[data-brand="globex"] {
  --color-primary: #0066ff;
  --color-background: #f0f4f8;
  --radius-md: 4px;
}
```

### Pattern 2: Runtime Brand Switching (no reflow)
```tsx
// app/providers/BrandProvider.tsx
'use client';
import { useEffect } from 'react';

export function BrandProvider({ brand, children }: { brand: string, children: React.ReactNode }) {
  useEffect(() => {
    document.documentElement.dataset.brand = brand;
  }, [brand]);
  return <>{children}</>;
}
```

### Pattern 3: SSR Brand Detection (FOUC 방지)
```tsx
// app/layout.tsx
import { headers } from 'next/headers';

export default async function RootLayout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  const host = (await headers()).get('host') ?? '';
  const brand = await resolveBrand(host); // acme.example.com → "acme"
  return (
    <html lang="en" data-brand={brand}>
      <body>{children}</body>
    </html>
  );
}
```

### Pattern 4: Tailwind v4 with CSS Variables (2026)
```css
/* app.css — Tailwind v4 의 native CSS variable */
@import "tailwindcss";

@theme {
  --color-primary: var(--color-primary);
  --color-bg: var(--color-background);
  --radius-md: var(--radius-md);
}
```

```tsx
<button className="bg-primary text-white rounded-md px-4 py-2">
  Click me
</button>
```

### Pattern 5: Edge-Cached Brand CSS
```ts
// middleware.ts (Next.js)
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server';
export function middleware(req: Request) {
  const host = new URL(req.url).hostname;
  const brand = brandMap[host] ?? 'default';
  const res = NextResponse.next();
  res.headers.set('x-brand', brand);
  res.headers.set('Cache-Control', 'public, max-age=3600, s-maxage=86400');
  res.headers.set('Vary', 'Host');
  return res;
}
```

### Pattern 6: Vanilla Extract (zero-runtime CSS-in-TS)
```ts
// theme.css.ts
import { createGlobalTheme, createThemeContract } from '@vanilla-extract/css';

export const vars = createThemeContract({
  color: { primary: null, bg: null },
  radius: { md: null },
});

createGlobalTheme('[data-brand="acme"]', vars, {
  color: { primary: '#ff5500', bg: '#fff' },
  radius: { md: '8px' },
});
```

### Pattern 7: Container Queries 의 격리
```css
.tenant-widget {
  container-type: inline-size;
  container-name: widget;
}

@container widget (min-width: 600px) {
  .card { display: grid; grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr; }
}
```

### Pattern 8: Critical CSS Extraction
```ts
// 매 SSR 시 매 brand 별 critical CSS 의 inline
import critical from 'critical';

await critical.generate({
  base: 'dist/',
  src: `index-${brand}.html`,
  inline: true,
  width: 1300,
  height: 900,
});
```

## 매 결정 기준
| 상황 | Approach |
|---|---|
| 5+ tenants | Design tokens + CSS variables |
| Runtime preview | `data-brand` attribute swap |
| White-label SaaS | SSR brand resolution + edge cache |
| Tightly-controlled brands | Vanilla Extract / Linaria |
| Marketing sites | Tailwind v4 + token import |
| FOUC prevention | SSR + inline critical CSS |
| Performance budget | Lighthouse CI per brand |

**기본값**: Design tokens (Style Dictionary) → CSS variables → Tailwind v4 utilities → SSR brand attribute → edge-cached.

## 🤖 LLM 활용
**언제**: 매 token system 의 schema 설계, 매 tenant 추가 시 의 build pipeline 의 review, FOUC 의 troubleshoot.
**언제 X**: 매 brand 의 actual color palette 의 결정 — 매 design 의 영역.

## ❌ 안티패턴
- **Brand 별 separate CSS bundle**: 매 build matrix 폭발, 매 cache miss.
- **JavaScript 의 inline style 의 swap**: 매 매 element 의 매 re-render.
- **CSS-in-JS runtime overhead**: 매 매 component mount 의 style serialization.
- **Token 의 CSS 의 hardcoded duplication**: 매 token 의 single source of truth 의 위반.
- **Brand resolution 의 client-only**: 매 FOUC, 매 layout shift.

## 🧪 검증 / 중복
- Verified (Style Dictionary docs, Tailwind v4 release notes, Vanilla Extract docs, Vercel multi-tenant template 2026).
