Answer a few questions and get a recommended, production-ready tech stack for your app — with the reasoning behind it.
How to choose a tech stack
A good stack is one your team can build in quickly and maintain for years. Anchor your choice in the app type and expected scale, then prefer well-documented, widely-hired technologies and managed services so you spend your time on the product, not the plumbing.
A sensible default for most apps
- Frontend
- React + TypeScript (Vite or Next.js)
- Backend
- Node.js + TypeScript (Express / NestJS) or Python (FastAPI)
- Database
- PostgreSQL — relational, reliable, scales a long way
- Hosting
- A managed platform early; cloud (AWS / GCP) when you need scale
- Auth
- A managed provider (Clerk, Auth.js) rather than rolling your own
Frequently asked questions
How do I choose a tech stack?
Start from the app type and scale, then pick a frontend, backend, database and hosting that your team can move fast in. Favor boring, well-documented technologies over trendy ones, and choose managed services early so you spend time on your product, not infrastructure.
What is the best tech stack for a startup?
For most startups, React + TypeScript on the frontend, a Node.js or Python backend, PostgreSQL for data, and a managed host (Vercel, Render, Fly.io, or Replit) is a fast, hireable, and scalable default.
