Frequently Asked Questions

How does the tech stack selector work?

Our quiz asks questions about your project type, team size, timeline, scale, and budget. Based on your answers, we calculate compatibility scores for different technologies and recommend the best-matching tech stack for your specific needs.

Should I choose React or Vue for my frontend?

React has a larger ecosystem and job market, making it ideal for larger teams. Vue has a gentler learning curve and is great for smaller teams or those new to frontend frameworks. Both are excellent choices—the best one depends on your team's experience and project needs.

What's the best tech stack for a startup MVP?

For most startups, we recommend Next.js with PostgreSQL and Vercel. This combination offers fast development, built-in SEO, easy deployment, and scales well as you grow. If you're non-technical, consider no-code options like Webflow or Bubble first.

Node.js vs Python for backend—which is better?

Node.js is great for real-time applications and when your frontend team also handles backend. Python excels for data processing, AI/ML, and scientific computing. Many companies use both depending on the use case.

How important is the tech stack for my startup's success?

While the right tech stack helps, it's less important than building something users want. Focus on shipping fast and iterating. You can always refactor later. That said, making good initial choices avoids expensive rewrites.

Should I use a no-code platform or custom code?

No-code platforms like Webflow or Bubble are great for validating ideas quickly and for non-technical founders. Switch to custom code when you need complex features, better performance, or full control over your product.

What database should I use?

PostgreSQL is the safest default choice—it's reliable, scalable, and works well for most applications. Use MongoDB for document-heavy applications, and consider Firebase or Supabase for rapid prototyping with real-time features.

How do I choose between AWS, GCP, and Azure?

For startups, Vercel or Railway offer simpler deployment. If you need cloud infrastructure, AWS has the largest ecosystem. GCP is great for AI/ML workloads. Azure is preferred by enterprises with existing Microsoft relationships.
