The technology stack you choose is foundational. It influences performance, scalability, maintainability, hiring, and cost. A misfit stack can become a burden; a well-chosen one can become a competitive enabler. In this article, we walk you through how to evaluate and select the right stack for your project, with insight into what Maxware typically recommends.
A technology stack is the combination of programming languages, frameworks, libraries, and tools used to build and run an application. It typically consists of a front-end (client-side) and back-end (server-side) component, along with databases, hosting environments, and third-party services.
Common front-end technologies include HTML, CSS, and JavaScript frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue.js. Back-end options range from Node.js and Python to Ruby on Rails and Java. Databases can be relational (like PostgreSQL or MySQL) or NoSQL (like MongoDB or Cassandra).
Choosing the right stack depends on various factors, including project requirements, team expertise, scalability needs, and budget constraints.
While each project is unique, here are some stacks Maxware frequently adopts:
