Hello, Dev community!
I was wondering what tech stack you use for building projects? This could be a tech stack for building any different pieces of software. Some examples include: web development, mobile development, scripting, machine learning, etc.
I'll start off the discussion by showing you my web development tech stack.
- Client:
- React.js/Next.js
- Chakra-UI
- Tailwind CSS
- Apollo Client
- Framer Motion
- React Hook Form
- Databases:
- PostgreSQL
- Redis
- Server:
- GraphQL/TypeGraphQL
- Apollo Server
- TypeORM
- Node.js
I really enjoy using the same programming language - Typescript - for my client and for my backend because I can share some util functions with both of them. For the databases, I use PostgreSQL and Redis because I found both of them extremely easy to use and very powerful. In the server, I use GraphQL, TypeORM, and Node.js. I use GraphQL over REST because it fixes many of the major issues that REST has. Also, I found that TypeORM is the easiest ORM to use with Typescript. For the client, I use Next.js because it makes creating a React.js website with multiple pages much easier. I also like using styling libraries such as Chakra-UI and Tailwind because I'm not much of a designer. Since I use GraphQL, I also use Apollo Client.
I just wonder which tech stack you use and why you love your tech stack!

Cool, thanks for sharing ... we are using Scala with MongoDB, Redis, Solr and HBase at the backend and moving to Svelte for the frontend with Finatra for the Rest API ... itβs great !! ππ
It sounds very interesting. In which company are you using Scala and in which projects?
I am now learning scala, itβs amazing.
I've heard a lot of people using Svelte for the frontend. Have you tried React.js or Vue.js? If so, how does it compare to Svelte?
All I've heard of Scala is from the Stackoverflow survey (featured as the highest paying language). How do you think Scala compares to some other languages such as Python or Javascript/Typescript?
Iβm learning MERN stack right now :D
I've tried everything in that tech stack aside from MongoDB. Do you like MongoDB and should I try it?
Cool! I've only been learning for the past couple days... but I think it's pretty simple. One of the main benefits is that it uses JSON for storing info which is awesome for many JS developers π
Hello Henry, I share the tech stack I feel more comfortable with is:
Client: Vue or Nuxt (depending on if it's a static website or a web app), for mobile apps Ionic + Vue. Tailwind CSS. No UI framework, I build my components from scratch.
Backend: Hasura + Graphql
Thanks for Hasura, will check it out asap!
I will checkout Hasura as well like @wannymiarelli . I have been recommended Hasura before but never came to using it. Thanks for that!
java / quarkus / vertx
python / flask / aiohttp
bash
mysql / cassandra / elastic
docker / swarm / k8s
no frontend as I'm a devops :)
Cool and interesting tech stack! I have never head of some tools on your tech stack such as cassandra, elastic, swarm, and k8s. Will definitely check those out!
Learning MERN stack and enjoying it
Cool!
Vue, laravel and graphql
GraphQL is a great tool, glad it's in your tech stack!
Angular, Ruby on Rails, Laravel
Front-end : Vue Nuxt Vuetify Flutter
Backend: Django Flask Express
DB: Mongo Postgres
Since you've tried Mongo and Postgres, which one do you like more? Personally, I've never tried Mongo and have only used Postgres. Do you think I should give Mongo a go?
They both have their distinctive use cases if you have many relations in your database like foreign keys many to many keys etc then you are better off with postgres. But if that's not the case better off with mongo as it's querying capacity is insanely amazing with select limit aggregation pipeline and other features.
Thanks for your insight. I think I will stick with Postgres but I will make sure to try Mongo soon!
You might want to give HarperDB a go as well! It supports NoSQL and SQL including joins, so kind of a hybrid between the two.
Thanks for the suggestion. I will check HarperDB out!
Hello,
My normal goto tech stack that I always suggest to a client
Client-Side:
1.Vuejs or Gridsome(Depends on the situation)
For frontend framework, I normally go with quasar framework or Vuetify
Backend:
Mostly Flask or sometime NodeJs Hapi
Mine damn simple
-reactJS
-redux
-materialUI
-framer motion
-graphQL
Short and sweet but powerful!
Browser: TypeScript, Preact, Pure CSS
Web server: nginx, PHP
Application server: TypeScript, LevelDB
High performance: Go, C, Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK)
Cool tech stack! I haven't learnt any high-performance languages yet but I plan to learn Go. How do you think Go compares to C, C++, or Rust?
I have both Go and C in the same codebase. yoursunny.com/t/2020/NDN-DPDK-ICN2....
C is for interfacing with hardware devices, such as 100Gbps Ethernet adapter. You wouldn't want to use Go because context switching is causing too much overhead.
Go is for higher level logic. You wouldn't want to write GraphQL server in C.
Thanks for the tips! I think for my use case, Go would be the best language to learn.
My stack is almost similar with you :)
UI web :
Services :
And I'm going to add Redis for my caching database soon..
Yes, Redis is a great tool to use for caching your database. I would definitely recommend it!
Tech Stack:
Front-End: ReactJS
Middle: NodeJS (firebase also goes here but new to the use of cloud functions)
Back-End: MSSQL or MySQL (some mongoDB and firebase but not often)
Hosting Services (just as a bonus): Heroku, Netlify, FireBase and Clever Cloud. (They all have free/dev stuff for projects or messing around)
Mainly JavaScript in React. Some vanilla JavaScript. HTML/CSS and some SCSS but SCSS generally overkill for a lot of things I feel like, unless you are making some giant app or website as far as I can tell.
I've never tried SCSS. How do you think SCSS compares to CSS in your everyday app? Cool tech stack!
I have never tried WASM, but I plan to soon, using Go. How does WASM compare to Javascript?
This is my stack:
UI:
Database:
Server:
Great tech stack!
