Every developer has opinions about tech stacks. Here’s ours, and more importantly, why.
React is our foundation. Not because it’s trendy (it’s been around since 2013), but because it has the largest ecosystem, the best talent pool, and the most battle-tested patterns for building complex UIs. When your app grows, React grows with it.
Next.js sits on top of React and handles everything the framework doesn’t, routing, server-side rendering, API routes, and deployment optimization. It’s the difference between building a React app and building a React product.
TypeScript isn’t optional for us. On any project beyond a landing page, type safety prevents entire categories of bugs. It’s a small upfront cost that pays massive dividends in maintainability and team collaboration.
On the backend, Node.js and Python split duties. Node for real-time features, API servers, and anything that benefits from JavaScript ecosystem synergy. Python for AI/ML, data processing, and anything that needs scientific computing libraries.
For databases, PostgreSQL is our default for relational data (most apps), and MongoDB when document-based storage genuinely makes more sense. We don’t use NoSQL because it sounds cool, we use it when the data model demands it.
The truth about tech stacks is this: the best one is the one your team can ship with, maintain confidently, and scale without rewriting. Ours does exactly that.
