The most important thing we consider while developing a top-notch web application for our business is the technology stack, the base for an app. It comprises the database, server, programming language, frontend tools and framework for a web application development. Collectively, a stack is building this web development technology on top of one another.
Choosing a relevant technology stack is the key to any successful project. It is more challenging for small businesses or startups as they need a technology stack, which can aptly get the projects off the ground within their limited budget. Any wrong choice in web development technologies can become a reason for project’s failure.
The criteria for choosing the most suited technology stack for your web application development includes:
1) Project type
The complexity of software projects leads to the selection of technology stack, generally divided into three types:
1. Low complexity projects like CMS, web templates, traditional e-shops & applications, which involves minimum staffing for development.
2. Medium complexity projects like online stores, marketplaces or enterprise solutions, based on frameworks and involves resources from more than one department.
3. High complexity projects like data-based applications, eCommerce solutions, which require a combination of frameworks, tools, software languages, accelerators and cross-departmental interaction.
2) 3rd Party Solutions Integration
The software technologies selected by you must allow seamless 3rd party solutions integration and offer hassle-free connectivity.
3) Safety and security
You must ensure that the web product is based on the safety principles, and must have safety and security instructions to prevent threats and minimize critical errors.
4) Ease of Testing
The web applications are created on coding lines, which can have bugs and may require fixing. Easily testable stacks offer bug-free web application development solutions with a test-driven approach.
5) Cost of development
The development cost depends on the chosen software technologies while developing a web product. You must consider a positive correlation between the selected software stack and its value of development.
6) Scalability
Web applications require a definite scalability matrix, which can have scenarios to scale up (vertical) as well as for scale out (horizontal). The technology stack must also have scope for loopholes if any.
7) Time to market
The time a web product requires from its process initiation to availability for sale must be in line with the project deadlines of launching it in the market. The tech stack selected must keep you ahead of the competition.
Conclusion
The core idea behind selecting the right set of the technology stack is to choose technologies as per your project. Businesses should follow a realistic approach while taking into account all the pros and cons. The wrong choice of technology stack can lead to financial losses. An expert team of web application developers can help choose the right tool for delivering a state-of-the-art web application development.
