The best stack is the one your team can maintain for years — not the one that trends this month.
Ask the ownership question
Who will update this in eighteen months? If the answer is unclear, simplify.
Prefer boring reliability
Proven tools with strong communities usually beat exotic combinations that only one person understands.
Match the problem size
A brochure site does not need a microservices empire. Choose architecture that fits today’s problem with room to grow.
Plan the handover
Document why decisions were made. Future you — or a future teammate — will thank you.
