Tools for pro developers

Building for real users? These are the tools teams use in production: typed languages, strong databases, cloud hosting, and tools to watch your app.

A solid production stack

TypeScript everywhere, Next.js for the app, Postgres with Drizzle for data, AWS to run it, and PostHog to see how people use it.

Every tool for pro developers

Each tool shows what it does and its price. Open one to see pros, cons and alternatives.

What pros look for

Types and tests

TypeScript, C#, Java and Go catch bugs before your users do.

A database you can trust

Postgres, MySQL and SQL Server handle real traffic and have good backup options.

Hosting that can grow

AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Cloudflare and Fly.io let you scale when you need to.

Common questions

What is the best tech stack for a web app?

There is no single best one. A common choice is TypeScript, Next.js, Postgres and a cloud host like AWS or Vercel. Pick tools your team knows.

Should I use a managed service or host it myself?

Managed services cost more but save time. Host it yourself when you have the skills and need full control.

How do I compare two tools?

Open Compare tools, or an alternatives page such as Cursor alternatives. Each comparison leads with who costs more, and by how much.

Not quite you?
