The Tech Stack That Powers Modern SaaS Applications
Choosing the right technology stack can make or break your SaaS product. We break down our go-to technologies and why they work so well together.

When founders ask us what technologies to use for their SaaS, we always start with the same question: What are your specific needs? There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but there are proven combinations that work well for most use cases.
Our Go-To Frontend Stack
For most projects, we reach for Next.js with TypeScript. The combination offers server-side rendering for SEO, excellent developer experience, and the type safety that prevents countless bugs.
Tailwind CSS handles styling—it's fast to write, easy to maintain, and produces minimal CSS in production.
Backend & Database Choices
Node.js with Express or NestJS provides a solid backend foundation. For databases, PostgreSQL remains our default choice for relational data, while MongoDB excels for document-based use cases.
We've also seen great success with Supabase as a Firebase alternative, offering PostgreSQL with real-time capabilities out of the box.
Infrastructure That Scales
Vercel for frontend hosting, AWS or Google Cloud for backend services, and Docker for consistent deployments. This combination handles everything from small startups to high-traffic applications.
The key is choosing technologies that your team can master and that will scale with your business.
