Startup Tech Stack Builder

Get an opinionated, battle-tested stack tailored to your project, team, and stage.

Project type
Team size
Stage
  • Frontend
    React + TypeScript (Vite)
    Largest talent pool, great DX, fast to ship.
  • Backend
    Lovable Cloud (Supabase) + serverless functions
    Start managed, move to dedicated services only when scale demands it.
  • Database
    Postgres (Supabase)
    Postgres is the safest long-term default; add Redis when read load grows.
  • Auth
    Supabase Auth (email + Google OAuth)
    Hosted, secure, has the social providers users expect.
  • Hosting
    Vercel or Cloudflare Pages
    Edge by default, generous free tier, zero-config CI.
  • Payments
    Stripe
    Best docs, widest country coverage.
  • Email
    Resend (transactional) + Beehiiv/ConvertKit (marketing)
    Resend is a clean React Email pairing; Beehiiv handles newsletters.
  • Analytics
    Plausible or PostHog (self-host or cloud)
    Product analytics from day one beats waiting until you 'need' it.
  • Monitoring
    Sentry (errors)
    Catch and triage errors before users tell you.
  • Project mgmt
    Linear (solo workspace)
    Fast, opinionated, beats Jira at every team size under ~50.
  • Comms
    Slack Connect with customers
    Async-first beats meeting-heavy at early stage.
  • AI / LLM
    Lovable AI Gateway (multi-model)
    One key, swap models, no vendor lock-in.

FAQ

Are these recommendations biased?

Yes — opinionated by design. We favour tools that are fast to ship with, have generous free tiers, and don't lock you in. You'll see Postgres, Stripe, Sentry and Linear show up a lot because they're hard to regret.

Can I use this for non-SaaS projects?

Yes. Pick 'Web', 'Mobile' or 'API' as project type and the recommendations adapt — for example mobile suggests React Native + Expo.
