Ask HN: Companies of one, what is your tech stack?

BE - Lambda function URLs, Node, Fastify, Knex with Objection.js, RDS Proxy Postgres

FE - Vue2, Nuxt, Tailwind

Native - Capacitor 100% code sharing with web FE. Fastlane to automate build/signing/submissions

Cloudflare workers acting as a proxy for both FE cache and BE API rate limiting/maintenance mode read from KV store.

I made a crude diagram: https://t20654125.p.clickup-attachments.com/t20654125/133842...

Rails + mysql, with Sorbet for Ruby type safety React Native for our mobile app Typescript for all JS

Hosted on Linode

Boring but hella productive and stable, and lots of stability and depth in the ecosystem.

Micro services: Traefik + Docker

Web stack: nextjs, symfony or fastapi, netlify

Monitoring: Matomo, metabase, signoz, prometheus.

For my latest project:

Frontend: React/Typescript

Backend: React/Typescript, Nim

DB: Postgres

Hosting: Namecheap, Cloudflare, ZAP-Hosting

Not a company but I’ve been experimenting with different tech stack options over the last 6 months to find a simple tech stack with an independent frontend and an independent backend with a hosted database. The goal is not just to build but also be able to maintain without much complexity and not spend a lot of money on hosting.

Backend: Building a REST/GraphQL API that could be deployed to Cloudflare workers is a no brainer. Super cheap and incredibly fast and when you need to scale it’s still ridiculously cheap. I’d probaby go with REST with swagger + openapi-typescript to generate types on the frontend because honestly GraphQL is a lot of work for one person to maintain.

Frontend: Next.js server render or ISG hosted on Vercel. I'd throw Tailwind on too for rapidly styling your pages.

Database: Prisma with Postgres so it could be typed and works well with other tools. I still haven’t figured where to host Postgres easily. Looking for something like Mongo Atlas where I could grab the connection URL easily and has affordable free/paid plans.
