8 years ago Mobile development stack
- If we don't need hardcore features like OpenGL or Metal. We will use React-native for all of our mobile development
Front-end Stack
- SCSS
- Flexbox (Bootstrap 4 has flexbox support, but we have to check it. There's also http://flexboxgrid.com/ which looks really good). Maybe @castrolem can help with this one.
- https://github.com/10up/flexibility for ie backwards compatiblity
- React
Back-end Stack
- Ruby on Rails for basic projects
- Golang for microservices
- Postgres as our main database
- Redis as our cache database
- Other NoSQL database where's needed
- We need also to consider a framework that allows us prototype/build application quickly. This may have more sense in a mobile application, but we can use it for desktop applications too depending the case. Something like:
- Parse Server
- Cool and works out of the box, has a really useful dashboard that non technical people can use.
- Horizon.io
- Backed by RethinkDB which looks like a really good NoSQL database. Has no dashboard right now but is in the works (https://github.com/rethinkdb/horizon/issues/154)
DevOps stack
- Docker for everything, including local development. You should have by now a Docker beta invite, if not request one at https://beta.docker.com/
- Rancher for containers management
- Prometheus for service monitoring
- ELK for logging analysis
- Sentry for our error reporting
- DigitalOcean to deploy or AWS (I prefer digitalocean since it's cheaper)
Testing Tools
- Our CI/CD process will be managed using drone.io, We will have an instance running and every repo has to have Drone configured
- Testing framework are language/framework dependant. For Rails we will use what Rueditas has. For Golang we will use the default testing package. For Node.js/React we will use Jest or Mocha (not one defined here, so let's play with both and see how it goes

The idea is to keep track of those things that we thing may work in order to define the final tech stack. we need to define things like:
