Hello Tech Stack Experts,
I received two tech stack proposals for a Global Social Network, which is being developed for the web only for its first release. The platform has usual social networking features such as live streaming, audio/video chat, tagging, community/followers, and a bit of AI here and there.
- AngularJS, Python, MySQL, or PostgreSQL
- React, Node.js, MongoDB
I need expert advice on choosing the right technology stack keeping the scalability, time to market a and robustness factors in mind.
Any suggestions here will be very helpful. Thanks in advance.
MERN is probably a good robust solution which can be scaled. The best choice will depend upon the expertise of your development team unless you have unlimited time. I've checked Python here because I've found Python on the back end can improve productivity beyond that achievable with Javascript, especially if you are delving into AI (and probably statistical analysis). For something like this I'd favor Mongo over an SQL database as long as you have developers who are well versed in its use.
