Choosing a tech stack shouldn't be about hype — it should be about your specific needs, timeline, and long-term goals.
Start With Your Requirements
Before looking at any framework, list your non-negotiables. Do you need server-side rendering for SEO? Real-time features? Complex state management? Heavy computation? Your requirements will naturally narrow the field.
The Frontend Landscape
React remains the most popular choice for good reason — massive ecosystem, excellent tooling, and a huge talent pool. Vue offers a gentler learning curve. Svelte delivers incredible performance with less boilerplate. All three are excellent; the "best" choice depends on your team and project.
Backend Considerations
Node.js excels for I/O-heavy applications and lets you use JavaScript across the full stack. Python is unbeatable for data-heavy applications. Go offers exceptional performance for high-concurrency services.
The Full-Stack Revolution
Frameworks like Next.js, Nuxt, and SvelteKit blur the line between frontend and backend. They handle routing, rendering, API routes, and optimization out of the box, dramatically reducing the decisions you need to make.
Our Recommendation
For most business applications, we recommend Next.js with TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and PostgreSQL. This stack offers the best balance of developer experience, performance, and scalability. But every project is unique — and that's exactly why we start every engagement with a discovery phase.
