// how_we_choose
## How We Choose a Stack
- —TypeScript end-to-end wherever possible — fewer runtime surprises
- —Hosted databases over self-managed — less ops burden at MVP stage
- —Managed auth over roll-your-own — security is not a competitive differentiator
- —Edge-friendly hosting — Vercel/Cloudflare for global latency without DevOps
- —Avoid polyglot microservices early — a modular monolith ships 3× faster
