Backend: - Go, NodeJS - Redis, MongoDB, Tile38, Neo4j - GKE - Traefik Frontend (mobile app): - React-Native

How has Traefik worked for you? Is it serving production traffic?

Which OS do you use for development?

It's a fair question. Many people use FreeBSD just for servers and use other distros for their workstations.

I guess so. It seems strange to me that anyone would want to inflict upon themselves the pain of using different environments for development vs. production, though.

Rust on Linux with Cassandra, the strong typing without a GC is a boon to stability and performance (my own sanity). Cassandra is fantastic, looking forward to using Scylla at some point.

Would you mind if I asked what type of application do you have that needs the kind of write performance? Also, are there any Rust drivers for Scylla?

This stack looks awesome in terms of pure perf.

windows 200, ms access for the backend, ASP (VB) for the frontend. we also do java applets

you probably meant Windows 2000 ;)

Windows Trajan emperor edition has a really good firewall up there (sorry for bad joke, had to make it).

I run a development shop in Australia and work with a lot of startups to build their MVP. This puts us in a position to recommend our preferred stack: - Django backend - React frontend - Native mobile iOS/Android OR Xamarin (depends on project) - PostgreSQL - AWS (Elastic Beanstalk) OR Heroku - S3

Do you serve React frontend directly from Django or from a dedicated Node.js or other server?

You'd think so, but I bet a large portion of developers on hacker news develop on a mac and run their apps in production on a linux distro. At least for web apps.

We're not exactly a startup, but a small growing data science, analyst, and engineering team in a bigger company. You name it... but a typical data and web stack. OS/Distros: FreeBSD and Linux (CoreOS and CentOS) Languages: Python (Data Science) & Javascript (Front End) Frameworks: Flask, Django, Angular, React, Bokeh, Tensorflow, Scikit-learn Container Services: Docker, Mesos/Marathon/DCOS (currently testing Kuberne…

Node.js/GraphQL/Next.js/PostgreSQL/AWS Lambada (via up). Entirely serverless stack with the application state residing in the DB and a JWT to identify the user. No OS, containers, kubernetes, instances, etc to deal with other than a single RDS instance.

Could be. I know a lot of Mac owners who only ever do three things directly in OS X though: Run a web browser, use video conferencing software, and launch linux and BSD virtual machines.

i'd like to see this question answered only by companies grossing over $100 million and less side-dev passion projects.

COBOL, C++ and Java?

Started with Python + Django + MySQL, hosted on PythonAnywhere. At some point, decided to rewrite the project from scratch in Clojure using MongoDB, since Clojure was much better suited for solving the problem in question (modelling the grammar of a natural language - https://www.pealim.com ) and MongoDB was better suited for the constantly evolving grammar spec. The rewrite took around two months and I believe that…

pealim.com is my most visited site (according to the chrome home screen). I could not have learned עברית so quickly the last couple of years without it. תודה רבה!!!
