Stack selection is a decision we make jointly with the client, not in isolation:
Backend: We default to proven, well-supported stacks – Node.js (Express, NestJS), Python (Django, FastAPI), Java (Spring Boot), or .NET – chosen based on your team’s familiarity, performance needs, and hiring market in your geography. We avoid niche languages that make future hiring difficult.
Frontend: React or Next.js for most web projects. Vue or Angular when there are existing team skills or specific framework requirements.
Mobile: Native (Swift/Kotlin) when you need maximum performance, deep platform integration, or have iOS-only or Android-only audiences. React Native or Flutter when budget, time, and a 90% native experience are higher priorities.
Database: PostgreSQL for most relational needs, MongoDB for document-heavy data, Redis for caching, Elasticsearch for search.
Cloud: AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud – typically aligned with your existing infrastructure.
We document the stack rationale in writing as part of the kickoff so you can verify the choices against your long-term plans.
