Sometimes it's hard to say where to delineate the line of services that are part of the "stack" vs ones that are more just part of the business, but this is a list of tech we use that seems to fit the "stack" bill. I've also omitted a couple services that we have integrated but don't actively use at the moment. I've also omitted some stuff that seems to just be part of the Heroku default bundle. I also might have forgotten about something.
Anyway, feel free to ask us anything about what we use.

How do you manage SEO without any framework like next js...
Interesting :)
Hi @ben ,
Is this blog post still valid, is this still the stack you guys use ?
Do you use Heroku to host your Ruby on Rail or just Postgres (If you don't use Heroku for the backend host, who do you use) ?
Really interested, Many Thanks,
Chris.
Is this description of the tech stack still up to date?
The site feels so snappy that I was excepting some convoluted and esoteric tech stack from the future.
Great work.
Not totally up to date, but not a lot has changed.
are you using preact ? found dev.to logo here
preactjs.com/about/we-are-using
Second bullet under Open Source.
how do you handle the user feeds? it's pretty fast...
are you only using getstream.io for handling that?
thanks...
Hi @ben , I have a few questions.
Is your frontend template based (Embedded Ruby and alike), a single page application (React or such) or a server-side rendered SPA?
Do you use some caching for sql requests? Or everything is hitting sql db?
Why heroku?
Much cheaper is to get some random vps, isn't it?
What's your revenue model for dev.to ?
