Hey everyone! I’m curious about the current trends in backend development. What frameworks, languages, or tools are you all using to build your backend systems? I’m thinking of starting a new project and want to make sure I’m using up-to-date tech. Are there any particular stacks that seem to be gaining popularity lately? Or maybe some hidden gems that you’ve found really useful? I’d love to hear about your experiences and recommendations. Thanks in advance for sharing your insights!
In my experience, Node.js with Express has been a go-to choice for many backend projects. It’s lightweight, fast, and has a vast ecosystem of packages. Recently, I’ve also been exploring Golang for its performance benefits and built-in concurrency support. For database management, PostgreSQL remains a solid option, especially when paired with an ORM like Sequelize or Prisma. Docker has become indispensable for containerization, making deployment and scaling much more manageable. If you’re looking for a full-stack solution, the MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) stack is still quite popular and provides a cohesive JavaScript-based environment. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your project requirements and team expertise.
hey, have u tried django? it’s quit quick to setup. i recently played with aws lambda too. curious how graphql stacks against rest—what’s ur experience?
yo, flask is pretty sweet for python backends. lightweight n easy to use. mongodb’s been my go-to for data storage lately. kubernetes is gaining traction for orchestration if u need to scale. heard good things bout elixir too, but haven’t tried it myself. what kinda project u workin on?
