How to choose the right tech stack for your project
How to choose the right tech stack for your project
Choosing the right tech stack is one of the most impactful decisions in a digital project. It influences development speed, maintainability, costs, and even your ability to hire talent.
The essential criteria
1. The nature of the project
Every project has specific needs. A mobile app doesn’t have the same constraints as a complex web platform or a data processing API.
- Web applications: React, Vue.js, or Astro for the frontend. Node.js, Python or Go for the backend.
- Mobile applications: React Native for cross-platform, Swift/Kotlin for native.
- APIs and microservices: Node.js with Express or Fastify, or Go for raw performance.
2. Team skills and expertise
The best framework in the world is useless if no one knows how to use it. Evaluate existing skills and acceptable training time.
3. Ecosystem and community
A rich ecosystem means available libraries, comprehensive documentation, and an active community to help solve problems.
4. Scalability
Anticipate growth. A choice that works for 100 users can become a bottleneck at 10,000.
Our recommendation
At Avalonis, we favor proven and well-maintained technologies. TypeScript, React/Astro, Node.js and PostgreSQL form a solid foundation for most projects.
The key isn’t to follow trends, but to make pragmatic choices suited to your specific context.
