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

My company is well over that number. I probably only know about a quarter of the stacks... And even within those, there is a lot of variation. There are java heavy stacks, python heavy stacks, nodejs, Ruby. Lots of systems level stuff in C, C++, Java. I can't even speak to any front end frameworks (although I know there are at least a few). Almost every other application you could think of is in use somewhere... Nagiod, Sensu, Icinga, OpenNMS, memcached, redis, nginx, Apache, redshift, MySQL, postgresql, rabbitmq, zeromq, Ansible, Chef... This is likely barely scratching the surface.

PHP (Laravel), JS (Vue + Vue Router + Vuex), MySQL.

Keeps things simple.

Using postgre, redis, FeathersJS, Nuxtjs, and VueJS. The near real-time updates and sever side rendering is great.

Microsoft Products all the way... only way to scale.

Haskell & Elm. Deployed to AWS with NixOps. Persisted with PosgreSQL and Redis. Code hosted in either Bitbucket or GitHbub. Tasks managed with Trello and email. Occasional sync meetings over appear.in or Zoom (I travel).

This is my favourite stack here by far. What are your pain points?

NixOps supposedly supports several hosting providers, but the DigitalOcean integration is currently broken. AWS works great, but it's annoying to be forced into that choice by the tool.

Haskell and Elm both work great, but I can imagine in future using something like Haste or PureScript Bridge; it'd be nice to work with both the backend and UI as a single project. Not a pain currently, but this is a nice to have.

Biggest pain is documentation. Haskell stuff is documented, but more hand-holdy examples would be ideal. OTOH, some language communities have a culture of writing documentation that is too hand-holdy, flooded with emojis, and is generally frustratingly infantilising. I'd like Haskell to strike a balance between the two. I'm optimistic we'll get there eventually.

Backend: Python, Go, Java Mobile development: Android and React Native Database: MySQL and PostgreSQL Redis and also RabbitMQ.

Could you please share your experience with RN? Have you created an app from scratch or added RN to existing native app?

I have never created an apps or worked with React Native before. But, I would share the experience from my colleague who develops Android apps in our startup.

We are a startup that helps people in the middle-low income using technology. The people who use our technology usually have Android mobile phone with minimum specifications (Jelly Beans, low memory and spaces). At first launch, we used Android Native to build our application. The application meets our costumer needs since we consider to build an apps that consumes low memory and spaces. Then our costumer are growing and the features are complex, we use React Native to existing native app. Our application now consumes memory and spaces two times than Native one. Beside that, sometimes when you use a library, Native is more stable than React Native.

https://DNDEmail.com is do not disturb for your Gmail. We use Python on Google App Engine. Google's NDB datasource. The Chrome Extension is written in JavaScript. Wordpress on wpengine.com for the front-end brochure website. I've written about how to simplify your MVP stack[ https://dndemail.com/2018/01/30/how-to-simplify-your-app-pla... ] to speed up launching.

Webapp2 or something else? :) It's been so long I've seen someone use python on GAE, it's ridiculous. It was my first ever "real world" programming project back in 2011.

Don't companies over $100 million use almost every major stack?

you probably meant Windows 2000 ;)

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

Windows 200AD :)

Have you run into design decision limitations with Elm yet?
