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.
Two-person team, bootstrapping SaaS. Using Laravel + Inertia + Vue, self-hosted on Hetzner. Chose it for cost control (<$25/month). Trade-off: longer MVP build but zero vendor lock-in and strong long-term control.

@sitara_ismail super cool, how difficult was it to implement the hosting on hetzner?
Trello for organizing, Canva for visuals, and a lot of sticky notes my desk. 😂

@kimberly_west Haha, love this. Nothing goes over the good old sticky notes 😅
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
These days I nuild MVPs using SvelteKit and Supabase.

@mathew__james Nice, I like the combination. Many people here, that use Supabase for their App and MVP
