1. Which Tech Stack Should You Ask Your Agency to Use?
The technology stack you choose dictates your product's speed to market, maintenance expenses, talent availability, and ability to scale without expensive rewrites. In 2026, we recommend the following battle-tested stack:
Next.js & TypeScript
Server-side rendering (SSR), lightning-fast page loads, automatic SEO indexing, and type safety across client and server boundaries.
PostgreSQL + Prisma/Drizzle
ACID compliance, JSONB support for semi-structured data, row-level security (RLS) for multi-tenancy, and high concurrency.
Node.js / Go + Redis (BullMQ)
Non-blocking I/O for real-time webhooks, asynchronous background job processing, distributed locks, and sub-millisecond caching.
Docker + AWS / Cloudflare
Containerized portability, global edge caching, automated SSL, automated CI/CD pipelines, and zero vendor lock-in.
