I've seen a lot of developers sharing their tech stack on Twitter lately. I am joining the bandwagon. Today, I will share the current tech stack I use when I build my own side projects in 2020. Spoiler: it is Javascript heavy.
Front-end
- Nuxt - As a huge Vue.js lover, Nuxt.js is my go-to Vue framework for creating server-side rendering (SSR) apps.
- Gridsome - For static site generation. I use this for building blog site and small Vue applications.
- TailwindCSS - For UI library. A life-saver. Saves a ton of time and work for a non-designer like me.
- ChakraUI - For UI Framework. Works well with Nuxt.js and Gridsome.
- Netlify - For hosting website quickly.
Back-end
- MongoDB - For database.
- GraphQL - For querying API.
- Apollo Server - For creating GraphQL server. Apollo is the most popular framework to implement GraphQL client and server.
- Strapi - For creating and managing content and API quickly. I use this for quick prototyping. This tech is so amazing!
- Hasura - For building APIs quickly.
- Heroku - For web server hosting.
- PostgreSQL - the standard database in Heroku. Strapi and Hasura use this as a de facto database.
Testing
- Cypress - For end to end testing.
Tech Im curious and exploring now
I've been re-exploring the React ecosystem lately. And here is a list of tech I am excited to get hands on.
- Redwoodjs - Bringing fullstack app to JAMStack. I love this! I tried this already and it just works!
- Blitz.js - Rails-like framework for React. A full-stack React framework.
This is my tech stack in a nutshell and I am very much happy to use these technologies.
Thank you for reading and ..
