Stack: TypeScript everywhere + Postgres + Prisma
Standard stack for modern web software: Next.js + React + TypeScript (frontend), Node.js + TypeScript (backend), Postgres + Prisma (DB), Tailwind CSS (style). The fastest and most sustainable in 2026.
TypeScript strict mode always on. Type safety lowers refactor cost; shifts runtime errors to compile-time. Guarantees long-term team productivity and quality.
Process: test-first + CI/CD + sprint review
Test pyramid: unit + integration + E2E (Playwright). Coverage target 85%+ on business logic, 70%+ on UI. CI/CD auto-runs tests on every PR; failed tests block merges.
Sprint review (weekly) and retrospective (bi-weekly) — process discipline lives there. Code review required — every PR needs at least one approval before merge.
Architecture: modular monolith fits most projects
Microservices vs. monolith → modular monolith (single deployment, modular code) for most projects. Significant drop in operational complexity.
Migrating to microservices fits when scale needs are clear. Microservices from the start is overkill; cuts team delivery speed by a third.
