Choose boring technology, and every other person can copy your work. Choose exciting new technology, you will be able to have features that few can replicate, or it will take them more time to do so. The question should be, are the features you need important for your business or have a supporting role only? U dont need to re-invent the wheel and use the greatest and latest to run a database. But u definitely need to have a cutting edge feature that others will have tough time building. Search for the late Christensen Clayton, who quoted "disruptive technologies". He has many youtubes great for a Sunday.
