## 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
