What's your tech stack?

I came across this post from @ben today while I was doing some daily reading on dev.to.

It got me wondering what other peoples' stacks look like. Here's pretty much what our tech stack is where I currently work. What's your tech stack look like?

There's tools like BuiltWith which are a good way to explore what other sites use. Although it can only use information that can be gleaned from the web responses, it can provide a surprising amount of insight into the stacks others use, especially on the front-end.

stackshare.io/ is also very useful

Siftery should also help as Stackshare tends to miss out on certain organizations.

The catch? On siftery, you can only view content on sign-up which needs a work email ID, i.e: Gmail / Hotmail / Yahoo won't work. A workaround I use is to create an account using email ID(s) via Temp-Mail

Primarily Microsoft .NET platform doing a little bit of everything from Windows services to WinForms to WPF to WCF to Web API to MVC (with some JQuery). Backends, mostly SQL Server and Oracle.

I've dabbled a bit in PHP, MySQL and Java but they have never been my primary focus.

Probably feels good to move over to Web API from WCF I imagine? 😉. Thanks for sharing.

It is, although I'm currently dealing with a mixture of legacy WCF and new Web API.

Front-End: RiotJS or VueJS
Back-End : ArangoDB + Foxx and Foxxy
Sometimes I use Ruby on Rails also but softly moving to 100% JS stack

Also moving to Crystal Lang when speed is needed.

Thank you for posting this! I know this is a few months old and I'm late to the party. Just want to say thanks for everyone to place more context outside of a simple builtwith query. We're dabbling in posting our tech stack and more in a dev blog. This thread is helping give more validation to posting a tech stack.

Working at Fewlines, we're huge fan of functional programming and we build API-first softwares.

We use Elm for most of our front-end and we build the back-end with Elixir (OTP/Plug/Poison/Cowboy and sometimes Phoenix). PostgreSQL handle our data, RabbitMQ manage our events and ELK for logs related stuff.

Our server infrastructure is mostly "cloud agnostic" and based on Kubernetes (with Helm) & Docker.
