Going back to the web after 10 years, I'm summoning the HN wisdom.

What is your go-to stack for a classic business web site ? for a Saas ? for a landing page ? for [whatever you do here] ?

For SaaS, React in the frontend, Django + DRF in the backend. Postgres as DB. That's it.

Rails for SaaS/CRUD, haven’t done anything semi-static in a while, but would probably go with Webflow.

Node, TypeScript, ESLint, Tauri, and a bunch of custom ESLint rules and a bunch of custom unit tests.

I pick what I know best and "just works" because of my experience and the framework's maturity. YMMV

Backend: Spring Boot (Java or Kotlin depending on solo vs cooperation)

Frontend: React ("https://hilla.dev/" looks interesting, might try that next)

Database: Postgres

Mine is the CHAMP-stack. Consisting of CSS, HTML, Apache, MySQL and PHP.

Pick what you know if you're going to build for a business. Me? Rails, Django and Postgres on AWS. Nowdays, Django on Lambda.

If you're building for fun, whatever you want!
