How to Choose the Right Tech Stack for Your Project

The Tech Stack Question

"What tech should we use?" is one of the first questions clients ask. The real answer: it depends on what you're building.

Our Default Stack (And Why)

Frontend: Next.js + React

Styling: Tailwind CSS

Backend: Node.js (when needed)

When We Use Something Else

Need a CMS?

We love Sanity or Contentful for content-heavy sites. Easy for non-technical users to update content.

Need Real-time Features?

Supabase or Firebase for real-time databases, auth, and more.

Need AI/ML?

Python for heavy machine learning. But for most AI features, we integrate with APIs (OpenAI, Claude, etc.).

Our Philosophy

1. Use boring technology when possible

2. Don't over-engineer for "future scale"

3. Pick tools the team actually knows

4. Ship first, optimize later
