Technology choices should serve the product, the team, and the next two years of change—not the latest launch thread.
Decision criteria that hold up
- Delivery speed for the current stage
- Maintainability for the expected team size
- Operational complexity you can actually own
- Hiring and ecosystem maturity
Avoid premature optimization
An early-stage MVP rarely needs the same infrastructure as a high-scale marketplace. Choose the simplest stack that can grow cleanly.
Revisit with evidence
Re-evaluate stack decisions when latency, cost, or delivery speed become constraints. Good engineering is iterative, not dogmatic.
