What tech stack do you currently use to ship your ideas?
Curious what you’re actually shipping with right now. Which stack are you using day-to-day, and why did you choose it over the alternatives? A bit of context (product type + team size) helps a ton.
If you’ve switched stacks recently, what did you move from/to and what pushed the change? Cost, speed, hiring, DX, vendor limits, something else?
What trade-offs are you living with today (performance, flexibility, lock-in), and if you were starting fresh tomorrow, would you pick the same stack? Bonus points for real numbers (time to MVP, hosting/build costs, page speeds) and any lessons learned you wish you’d known earlier.

Small design-led team here. Stack: SvelteKit + Supabase + Netlify. Loved the simplicity. I used Firebase earlier but Postgres compatibility in Supabase won me over. Trade-off: some rough edges but shipping speed doubled.

@robert_mills Thanks for sharing! I have never used SvelteKit and Netlify, but i love Supabase. It has many things Build in, which also helps to build faster.
I moved from Firebase to Node and PlanetScale to cut costs.

@andrew_ezra Thanks for sharing! When i first started learning to code, i used Firebase and although it was a nice developer experience, the costs were realy high once you were tryna scale
I’m running Firebase plus some backend services on AWS, but most of my projects are very client-side heavy. I lean on WASM, WebGPU, and webLLM, so a big chunk of the load sits in the frontend rather than the server.
That setup keeps infra costs low and shifts performance closer to the user’s device.
