How To Choose the Right Tech Stack For Your
Project?
  • With every new year, thousands of new apps are
    developed all over the world, amounting to
    millions of dollars, and with every new
    advancement, new tech stacks become in demand.
  • Are you interested in knowing more about tech
    stack meaning?
  • The term tech stack is a buzzword frequently
    used in technical contexts, although its exact
    meaning is not always evident. For example, when
    you enquire about someones stack, they might
    disclose the programming languages or development
    environments they employ.
  • What does it mean, then?
  • By reading our guide, learn what is a tech stack
    and how to choose one for your next project.

What is a Tech Stack?
  • A tech stack, also known as a technology stack,
    is a collection of technologies you can employ to
    develop a website, a web application, or a mobile
    application for your project. This is intriguing,
    right?
  • A technology stack can be thought of as a group
    of technological services that you can use to
    create responsive single-page applications for
    your company's requirements.
  • The tech stack used by Facebook is a good
    illustration. Using cutting-edge technology like
    JavaScript, HTML, CSS, PHP, and ReactJS, Facebook
    is an online platform.
  • A tech stack typically consists of Front-End and
    Back-End components. In the part after this,
    we'll go into further detail.
  • But before that let me make you go through the
    data for the most popular technologies being used
    globally.

What are the Essential Components of Tech Stack?
  • We'll now concentrate on comprehending the idea
    of tech stack components in this post on what a
    tech stack is. When building a web application,
    front-end development and back-end development
    are two essential steps.
  • The customer's experience using the programme on
    their device, whether it be a desktop computer,
    tablet, or smartphone, is represented by what
    they see on the front end.
  • Everything that takes place in the background to
    make the application function is what makes up
    the back end. "Client-side" and "server-side" can
    be used interchangeably with "front end" and
    "back end."

The main components of a Technology Stack
  • Front-End Technology Stacks
  • Front-end specifically deals with client-side
    technology and it is not having a connection with
    server-side terminologies. In simple words, we
    can say that the front end is what exactly users
    see when they open any website. Front-end
    development services focus on graphics, buttons,
    and how things behave when someone interacts with
    them.
  • Front-end tech stacks usually consist of three
    elements
  • HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)
  • CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)
  • JavaScript

8
  • HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)
  • Its one of the standard markup languages used
    for creating web pages.
  • It is primarily used for structuring and placing
    content on your web apps.
  • CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)
  • Its the language that determines the style of
    your web page.
  • This technology specifically describes how HTML
    elements are to be displayed on the screen, on
    paper, or in other media.
  • It is solely responsible for handling colours,
    fonts, layout, etc. to beautify your web
    application as per your needs.
  • JavaScript
  • It is a scripting language that helps you to
    implement complex features on web pages
  • Enables interactivity and enhances the
    functionality of a website or app.
  • This technology is responsible for performing
    advanced functionalities like displaying timely
    content updates, interactive maps, animated 2D/3D
    graphics, scrolling video jukeboxes, etc.

9
  • Back-End Tech Stack
  • The back end is the server-side technology. It
    supports the inner workings of a website or app.
    In short, these are the behind-the-scenes pieces
    that make the visible portions look and act the
    way they do.
  • The back end generally consists of four key
    terminologies, such as servers, databases,
    frameworks, and programming languages.
  • Your application will be made using code written
    in a programming language like JavaScript, PHP,
    or Python. Programming languages handle the
    crucial business logic required by your apps.
    JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Python, Ruby,
    Scala, PHP, and C are a few popular computer
    languages.
  • A framework, such as Ruby on Rails, Django, or
    Laravel, is a collection of parts meant to make
    development easier. Because they have shared
    utilities, frameworks give applications structure
    so that you don't have to create every bit of
    logic from scratch. .NET, Express, Spring,
    Django, Laravel, and Rails are a few of the
    well-known web frameworks.

10
  • Diversity in top web frameworks and technologies
  • Diversity in top Databases

11
  • Your code is stored in databases like MySQL,
    PostgreSQL, or MongoDB. A tech stack's databases
    are an essential component. You need a location
    to store all your information, regardless of how
    straightforward or complex your application.
    MongoDB and MySQL are two common databases. In
    addition to storing and retrieving data,
    contemporary data platforms like MongoDB also
    offer cognitive querying, aggregation, and
    transformation capabilities.
  • A computer software or physical device known as a
    server, such as Apache, Nginx, or IIS,
    distributes (or serves) your programmed content
    to users as a website or application. A web
    server receives HTTP requests from the client
    (such as a browser), sends them to the database,
    retrieves the needed data, and manages the
    answer. Depending on the project's styling
    requirements, a user interface to employ markups
    like HTML and CSS stylesheets, or frameworks like
    Bootstrap or Tailwind.
  • The runtime environment is the terminology by
    which an application is run. Runtime provides
    cross-platform compatibility. Java Runtime
    Environment (JRE), Node.js, and Common Language
    Runtime (CLR) are examples of runtime
    environments.
  • Other elements, like as APIs, BI and analytics
    tools, cloud services, and microservices, can
    improve an application's capabilities.

12
What is a Tech Stack Used For?
  • The primary aim of creating a tech stack for your
    application is to
  • Maximize the application efficiency
  • Enhance the productivity of your application
  • Improve the performance and security of the
    application
  • Selecting the perfect tech stack for your
    application is an essential factor that you need
    to consider for your entire website or app
    development process. Moreover, the selection of
    the right tech and tools makes it easy for you to
    build faster and more responsive apps.

13
Difference Between Web and Mobile App Tech Stack
  • After having a look at the basic concept of what
    is a tech stack, lets focus on understanding the
    difference between web and mobile app stacks.
  • Mobile App Tech Stacks
  • For developing a mobile application for your
    business, you need to take into account various
    user perspectives. In simple words, you need to
    make applications for different devices as day by
    day new devices are getting launched in the
    market.
  • And if we talk about mobile app development, you
    need to be ready with various mobile apps
    platforms like Android and iOS.
  • Apart from Android and iOS app development, there
    exists an option where you can write the same
    code for both technologies and thats what is
    called cross-platform technologies.

14
Lets start by understanding the Android tech
stack.
Programming Language Android App Development Tools UI Framework
Java is the only primary language that is specifically used for developing Android applications. This language is fully-supported and has great scalability. Android Studio is the official development platform for Googles Android app. Android UI comes up with pre-built templates that are handy for developers to build user interfaces quickly
Apart from Java, Kotlin is the most-preferred language for developing Android apps. The good part is that it is considered to be the second official Android development language by Google. Built upon Jetbrains technology, it provides an intuitive interface for developers to build Android apps. Android UI make use of prebuilt Android UI components, like structured layout objects and UI controls, to build the graphical user interface for your applications.
15
Now well understand the tech stack for iOS apps.
Programming Language iOS App Development Tools UI Framework
Objective-C is the original language used to build the iOS app. Nevertheless, building an app with Objective-C isnt easy, and developers are prone to make mistakes with it. Xcode An official development tool by Apple, and its your easy-to-use platform whether youre using Swift or Objective-C. It comes up with all the features needed to build the native iOS mobile app, including a visual interface builder. UIKit UIKit is the basic framework for building graphical components in the iOS app. It contains templates defining the UI elements which form the building blocks of the app.
Swift is a relatively newer language and developers are favouring it over Objective-C. With its safer syntax, fewer mistakes are committed and apps are developed in much less time. Its also easier to find developers adept in Swift as its easier to learn and master. AppCode Developed by a 3rd party, AppCode is an open-source alternative to XCode. While it enables iOS mobile app development, it lacks the features of XCode and to an extent, is still dependent on the latter. SwiftUI SwiftUI is a newer framework that offers a more efficient way of designing UI elements in iOS apps. However, it only works for iOS 13 and above, and there are limited resources as it was just launched in 2019.
16
  • The cross-platform tech stacks.
  • React Native (JS)
  • Flutter (Dart)
  • Xamarin (C)
  • Web App Tech Stack
  • Compared to the mobile app, desktop apps works
    differently. You dont need to download a web app
    to your device to use it.
  • Web app tech stacks use resources that are
    available in an internet browser. There are many
    internet browsers, and your tech stack should
    work with all of them.
  • However, its wise to test your websites and
    online applications on all the most popular
    browsers to make sure it works the way you expect.

17
Importance of Tech Stack for Your Project
  • The significance of the technological stack is
    that it makes it easier for you to develop apps
    with fewer obstacles and makes it easier to
    estimate the time and cost needed for your
    application's requirements.
  • As they directly affect the following (but are
    not limited to) criteria, you must choose the
    ideal tech stack for your project demands.
  • How your application runs now and how it will be
    affected in the future perspectives.
  • How you can efficiently maintain and scale your
    application to enhance your business performance.
  • You need to decide whether your business or
    application objectives are met or not
  • How you are going to store your application data,
    whether it may be local or cloud.
  • The best custom software development company
    should be contacted in order to talk with or hire
    full-stack developers so that you can be
    confident of your business goals and how to
    achieve them. Also, choosing the appropriate
    tools and services for your project's
    requirements will shield you from many current
    and potential development hazards.

18
What are the Benefits of Using Tech Stacks?
  • Choosing the ideal tech stack for your
    application will have a significant impact on how
    it will change your business viewpoint. Thus,
    after having a thorough understanding of what a
    tech stack definition is, you need to comprehend
    how such tech stacks are crucial for your
    business objectives.
  • Easily Scale Your Application
  • Enhance the Development Speed
  • Project Management Becomes Easier
  • Deciding on Stack Complexity

19
How to Choose a Tech Stack For Your Project?
  • There is no specific definition of the right
    technology stack. In the end, it's up to your
    fundamental project requirements. But, there are
    a few key elements you need to take into account
    while selecting or creating your tech stack.
  • Define Your Application Purpose
  • Design and User Experience
  • Time to Production
  • Costing
  • Scaling Your Application
