What's the best stack to use for web apps in your opinion? Should include database, frontend solution + backend language + framework 😎

html css js postgre php

#

all vanilla

What does this optimize for? Productivity? Simplicity? Also reasoning please 🥺

#

I'll have to go with:

Python + FastAPI
MongoDB + mongoengine
Vue 3

on my maximum productivity stack

Mongo just because mongoengine makes things so god damn easy, FastAPI is chill as well

Code will be slow but it's fine for yeeting out prototypes and you can always buy a bigger server (and then later move to PostgreSQL when you actually need performance)

im the type of ppl who dont do prototypes yet. prob will never make one. that's my reasoning. php/python btw

for simplicity i'd go with HTMZ (not to be mistaken with htmx), golang (just stdlib) and any SQL database

#

for productivity its going to come down to what you know best

HTMZ > HTMX damn

There is no optimal stack is my take on this

#

Really depends on your requirements

fierce wadi Really depends on your requirements

I should have clarified, I was asking for the optimal stack of your choice

#

If you're building from scratch, you can make all of the decisions

fierce wadi Mar 11, 2024, 4:55 PM

#

If I'm building from scratch for a personal project I tend to go with python fastAPI + some relational DB

#

just because it's quick to get going
