A unified tech stack helps our tiny team punch above its weight

  > We use as few libraries as possible, and when necessary we use simple, well-tested ones that will work on server, mobile and web. This way library updates on one part of the stack benefit another, as mentioned in the great Boring Technology talk, and unifying around React and Hapi makes us improve existing products while building new ones (see cross-pollination below). Interesting to see Hapi called out as boring, reliable, and stable. Did they end up getting sufficient funding after their they were in crisis a few years ago? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23639207 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23639207

  My startup had to do the exact same thing. Chose Go and Vue (vite, vue3 and tailwind) and Postgres (via SQLc). All our code is similar and reusable and we avoided the "Microservice all the things" trope. We deploy on AWS as it was a speciality of one of the team but realised we should've gone something like Heroku to be honest. Retool had been an absolute godsend to avoid doing admin panels/apps.
