Choosing the Right Tech Stack for Your Startup

Every founder eventually asks: 'What should we build this in?' The honest answer is that most modern stacks can get you to launch. The real question is what happens after launch.

We evaluate stack decisions against three forces: team velocity, hiring pool, and scaling ceiling. A stack your team can move fast in today usually beats a theoretically 'better' one you're still learning.

For most SaaS products we ship, that means TypeScript across the board, a framework like Next.js for the frontend, and infrastructure that can start simple and scale horizontally without a rewrite.

The goal isn't to pick the trendiest tools — it's to pick the boring, reliable ones that let you focus on the product, not the plumbing.
