Minimal reactive behavior in markup, the modern replacement for jQuery sprinkles.

ASP.NET Core
Microsoft's cross-platform web framework: high-performance C# APIs, MVC, and Blazor on a free, open-source runtime.

Echo
High performance, extensible, minimalist Go web framework with a fuller built-in middleware set than Gin.

Curated stacks for common use cases
The AI SaaS MVP Stack
A TypeScript-first stack for shipping an AI-backed SaaS to paying users fast, without gluing together a dozen services. Postgres and auth handled, payments that deal with tax for you, and a model layer you can swap without a rewrite.
The Edge Stack
A stack with no obvious home region. Code runs next to the user, the database lives at the edge too, and there are no cold starts to design around. Built for global, latency-sensitive products.
The Enterprise SaaS Stack
A stack tuned for a funded team selling B2B, where closing deals depends on SSO, billing depth, and a security posture procurement will sign off on. The deliberate opposite of an MVP stack: more control, less managed convenience.
