Backend tech stacks (server-side) use different programming languages and tools to handle requests from the frontend and provide applications with data storage, processing, analytics, and more. The backend stack comprises many programming languages, including:

You have to choose the server-side frameworks and tools carefully, because some technologies are lightweight, fast, and suitable for basic purposes, whereas some are loaded with features that only a complex application might need.

Full stack tech stack

This is the most common type of stack used in desktop web apps. It consists of both frontend and backend technologies — for example, Angular for the UI, a framework like Django for the application logic, and a database like MongoDB for managing data.

Tech stack components explained

Let's now take a look at the main components of a technology stack.

User interface

You can use markup like HTML and CSS stylesheets, or frameworks like Bootstrap or Tailwind, depending on the styling needs of the project.

Programming languages

Programming languages take care of the important business logic that your applications need. Some top programming languages are JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Python, Ruby, Scala, PHP, and C#.

Frameworks

Frameworks provide a structure to the application and have common utilities so that you don't have to write every piece of logic from scratch. Some popular web frameworks are Express, Spring, Django, Laravel, Rails, and .NET.

Runtime environment

The runtime environment is the software in which an application is run. Runtime provides cross-platform compatibility. Java Runtime Environment (JRE), Node.js, and Common Language Runtime (CLR) are examples of runtime environments in tech stacks.

Servers

A web server takes in requests (http) from the client (for example, browser), passes it on to the database for the requested information, and handles the response. Apache HTTP and Nginx are commonly used robust web servers.

Databases

Databases are an integral part of a tech stack. Whether your application is simple or has many workflows, you need a place to store all your information. Some popular databases are MongoDB SQL and MySQL. Modern data platforms like Firebase Realtime Database, MongoD, NoSQL further enhance the functionality of a database by providing intelligent querying, aggregation, and transformation features, in addition to data storage and retrieval.

There are many other components — like APIs, analytics tools, BI tools, cloud services, and microservices — that can enhance the functions of an application.

Advantages of the right tech stack

So, why do you even need a tech stack?

Firstly, you are more likely to build an application that can be used by a large number of people. If you choose frameworks and databases that scale well, during the planning phase itself, you will be saved from the horizontal and vertical scaling issues as your user base grows.

Also, a proper technology stack will help speed up the development process as you can hire full-stack developers or experts in individual technologies. You can also pick a specific tech stack to leverage your current team's expertise.

Additionally, it becomes easier for developers to communicate about the functioning of the application.

Planning a technology stack ahead means you will already know the resources, infrastructure, automation, hardware, and other project requirements, thus saving both cost and time.

Lastly, since you know the objective and size of the project/web app you are going to build, you can decide on the complexity of the stack, refrain from using technologies and operations that are really not required for your project, and avoid bulky resources.

Technology stacks to choose from.
