What do you use for you MVPs?

Hi all! What tools/framework do you all use for your MVPs? And why that specific framework/tool? We have always used Rails. but its good to re-evaluate the options from time to time.

Some points that I would like to put in consideration:

  • Time to market (how quickly can you set something up)
  • A way to grow after the MVP stage (can you grow from it, are there options to keep moving faster)
  • Hosted vs self hosted (can you host it on your own infra)
  • How's the community?

Ideally I am looking for something that is also able to grow a little beyond the MVP phase. Somehow my MVP's always end up needing things like data import, csv import, user management etc.

Would love to hear what you are all using =)

Cheers!

    For a recent project (Resumey.Pro), we used Django Cookiecutter which comes with ready to ship:

    • Docker setup (including database)
    • Integration with Sentry for tracking errors
    • Integration with Anymail to send emails
    • LetsEncrypt support
    • Django comes with user management by default
    • And many more...

    We just run had to run the docker compose on server and point the domain to the server's IP address.

    PS: Django with Python is very similar to Ruby on Rails
