Technologies we work with

Technology should support the system, not dictate it. Select any technology below for a plain explanation of what it is, where we use it, and the cases where we would choose something else.

How we choose

A stack decision is really a maintenance decision

We select technology after looking at the application, existing systems, security requirements, integrations, hosting environment, team capabilities, and how the software will be maintained years from now.

Whether another developer could be hired who already knows it
How cleanly it connects to the systems you already run
Whether it is actively maintained with a real security update record
Whether the hosting model fits your IT environment and budget

Already invested in a particular platform or stack?

We can work around established infrastructure when it makes sense. A new project does not automatically require replacing technology that is still dependable and well understood by your organization.

Discuss your existing systems

Not sure which technology fits your project?

Describe the system and the constraints. We will tell you what we would use and why, including when the answer is something we do not sell.
