What tech stack did you use?

Hey IndieHackers, when we all started our journey to build something, we were always curious what tech stack other successful saas products were built with. I think it would be awesome if people shared the programming language (backend, front end), database ...they used for their products.

[FRONTEND,] [BACKEND,] [DATABASE],[SERVER],[www.example.com]
Thanks.

  1. 5

    For my app: www.trelloreminders.com, www.thefactspeak.com/trelloreminder,

    I use:

    • Frontend: PuresScript + React + Bootstrap

    • Backend: Haskell

    1. 3

      Wow, backend on Haskell, that's cool. Could you elaborate on it? What framework do you use?

      1. 2

        I am using Servant.

      2. 2

        +1
        I think that functional programming languages are definitely the most powerful, but I haven't heard of any mature backend frameworks (except for Phoenix/elixir)

    2. 1

      Do you do any server side rendering with purescript? I've been curious about it

      1. 1

        No, no server side rendering.

  2. 4

    For my project I use.

    Frontend: React + Redux
    Backend: Go microservices, Cloud functions
    Database: MySql
    Server: Kubernetes and PubSub in GCP

    Website is https://wiseer.io but I'm upgrading it and current development can be seen at https://staging.wiseer.io

    Frontend: Vue
    Backend: PHP (laravel)
    Database: Azure database
    Server: Azure Web App

      vue is really light, just used it instead of angular in my last project :D

    Tech stack of FileAgo is as follows:

    Frontend: AngularJS, Bootstrap, SemanticUI
    Backend: Erlang/OTP + Cowboy web server
    Database: Neo4j (main storage), Erlang ETS (in-memory storage), sqlite3 (event logs)

    Howeee, mine is fairly large by now.
    https://www.datagekko.com
    Stack:

    • Frontend: ReactJS, Bootstrap based theme, some vanilla JS/HTML/CSS for the landing page and a bunch of plugins here and there
      User facing backend:
    • AppEngine, Java
      Pipeline Backend:
    • Custom nodes in Go and Java, Docker, Kubernetes, Apache Beam, ScyllaDB, Redis, Kafka and probably a very large portion of the entire GCP stack.

    • Frontend: js/jQuery, Bootstrap
    • Backend: .Net Core/c#
    • DB: SQL Server
    • Hosted on Azure
  13. 1

    Frontend: React, PostCSS (CSS Next)

    Backend: Node.js, Koa, Objection, Typescript

    Database: Postgres

    I chose Objection as it's a very thin wrapper over SQL and I wanted deeper access to some of the PostgreSQL specific features (such JSONB fields) which are often not accessible when using an ORM.
