Frontend & UI
The React framework for production. Next.js provides file-based routing, server components, API routes, and optimized rendering out of the box — the standard for full-stack React apps.
FastAPI
Backend Frameworks
The most popular modern Python web framework for building APIs. FastAPI leverages Python type hints for automatic validation, serialization, and interactive OpenAPI docs. One of the fastest Python frameworks available.
Django
Backend Frameworks
The high-level Python web framework for rapid development — batteries-included ORM, admin, auth, and migrations out of the box.
Supabase
Database & Cache
Open-source Firebase alternative. Combines Postgres, auth, file storage, realtime subscriptions, and edge functions in one platform. The default backend for indie SaaS with a generous free tier.
