Tech Stack Picker
Six questions about what you are building, your team and where you will host it produce a recommended stack with the reasoning, the trade-offs and two alternatives — plus the DEVAE communities for each.
Answer all six questions to get a recommendation. 6 to go.
How it works
Each answer adjusts weights across a fixed set of stacks (Next.js, Django, Rails, Go, Flutter, and more) using rules we wrote, not a model.
The top stack is shown with the reasons that scored it highest and the honest costs of choosing it.
Two alternatives show what you would gain by switching, so the recommendation is a starting point rather than a verdict.
Every stack links to its DEVAE community so you can ask people who use it daily.

One language everywhere: JavaScript/TypeScript with Next.js for web, or Python with Django if you already know Python. Fewer moving parts beats the theoretically best tool.
Less than shipping does. Pick what your team already knows, deploy on a managed platform, and only change when a real bottleneck appears.
Only if you have time to learn it before the deadline. The picker weights your experience for that reason.
It is opinionated and rule-based; the reasoning is shown so you can disagree. Ask the relevant DEVAE community for real-world opinions before committing.
