Choosing a Technology Stack for Web Application
Fri, 09 Apr 2021
A technology stack is a mixture of programming languages and software products that form a logically complete foundation for creating a web application. Systems have two parts of the software: client-side and server-side, also known as front end and rear end. Choosing the right technology stack for the creation of your web or mobile apps is half art and half science. Every application layer builds upon the characteristics of the layer below it, forming a stack.
Back End Stack
The back end is the business logic driving the demand. As all the data is passed through the front end, users will never interact directly with the rear end. The development of web applications can be a hectic process, particularly if one lacks the necessary tools to get started. Although most prefer PHP as their base language for development work, accompanying frameworks are great ways to organized ensure faster development. The use of frameworks also helps in the implementation of better features. Laravel and CodeIgniter are the two of our favorite frameworks for websites that are written in PHP.
Front End Stack
The users will see and interact with your web application’s visual part, known as the front end. The front end stack is composed of HTML (Markup Language), CSS (Style Sheet Language), and JavaScript (Scripting Language) while creating a web application.
Front end frameworks are elective, however, recommended are:
- JavaScript frameworks provide tools to create web content that is rich, interactive, and dynamic.
- Presentation frameworks are used for creating sensitive web applications with clean aesthetics.
Database
In the last few decades, Relational Databases (RDBMS) like MySQL and MSSQL have become the dominant standard for databases. Non-relational databases such as NoSQL recently also gained prominence. When selecting a database for your web application one must be careful. If your data is of a highly related nature or is linked as your web application progresses we suggest using a relational database. When you use an unstructured data model in your web application and do not expect any improvements to the data structure, we suggest a NoSQL database.
In determining the right technology stack for your business, the availability of a development team plays a vital role. Choosing a technology stack is a commitment that cannot be easily receded, so scalability and performance-related issues are important.
