You asked us:
"What's your tech stack for Transistor?"In this episode, Jon goes into the nerd stuff. What programming language, frameworks, and infrastructure we're using to build our SaaS.
What we recommend:
- Programming language: use what you know!
- Make sure you can connect to the community (both local and on the web)
- Hosting: use Heroku if you don’t have DevOps experience, AWS is great if you know how to configure it
- Database: MySQL is fine, we use Postgres (good community + features)
- Design framework: Semantic UI, or Bootstrap
- Repos: GitHub
- Most important: Get something running as quickly as you can (and into the hands of customers!).
