Our Technology Stack

The Philosophy Behind Our Stack

Choosing the right technology stack is one of the most fundamental decisions in software development. Our approach is pragmatic, not dogmatic. We don't believe in "one size fits all" – every project has its own requirements.

What makes our stack special is the experience behind it. We've witnessed the evolution of these technologies, learned their strengths and weaknesses in hundreds of projects.

Backend Technologies

PHP

The Workhorse of the Web

PHP may not be the hippest language, but it's one of the most productive. With over 20 years of evolution, PHP has become a mature, stable, and incredibly versatile platform.

Laravel

Has revolutionized how we develop PHP applications. Elegant syntax, powerful features, vibrant community. "Batteries included" philosophy.

Symfony

For projects requiring maximum flexibility and control. Component-based, enterprise-ready, highest code quality.

Yii2

High-performance framework with excellent caching and rapid development. Ideal for data-intensive applications.

Python

The Language of Data and AI

Python has established itself as the de-facto standard for Data Science, Machine Learning, and scientific computing. Clear, readable syntax with an enormous ecosystem of specialized libraries.

FastAPI

Excels at developing modern APIs with automatic documentation and type hints.

Django

Everything for complex web applications: Admin interfaces, ORM, robust security.

Frontend Technologies

Vue.js

Our preferred frontend framework for most projects. Its progressive nature enables gradual integration into existing projects. Gentle learning curve, powerful enough for complex SPAs.

React

For projects requiring maximum flexibility and a large ecosystem. Component-based architecture has revolutionized UI development.

Alpine.js

Lightweight reactivity for server-rendered HTML. Perfect for Laravel Blade and simple interactions.

Tailwind CSS

Utility-first CSS framework for fast, consistent styling without CSS bloat.

Mobile Development

React Native

Mobile Apps Done Right

One codebase for iOS and Android without sacrificing native performance. Hot reload dramatically accelerates development. Our experience with Chronuu shows: The technology is production-ready.

Progressive Web Apps

Web Technology, App Experience

For projects that don't necessarily need native features. Offline-capable, installable, and works on all platforms.

Database Technologies

MySQL / MariaDB

Proven and reliable. Our first choice for most web applications. With features like JSON columns and window functions, MySQL has integrated many modern features.

PostgreSQL

When it gets complex. Advanced features like array data types, full-text search, PostGIS for geodata. The "Swiss Army knife" among databases.

Redis

In-memory data structure store for caching, sessions, queues, and real-time features.

Elasticsearch

When full-text search and analysis over large data volumes is required.

DevOps and Infrastructure

Modern software development doesn't end with code – deployment, monitoring, and scaling are integral components.

Docker containerizes our applications for reproducible deployments
Kubernetes orchestrates containers in production and enables automatic scaling
GitLab CI/CD for Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment
Nginx/Apache as web server with optimal performance configuration
APM tools and custom metrics for proactive monitoring

Häufige Fragen

PHP with Laravel is the most productive choice for most web applications. The ecosystem maturity, developer availability, and hosting options are unbeatable. We use Node.js for special real-time requirements, Go for high-performance microservices.

Based on requirements: Team expertise, performance needs, time-to-market, long-term maintainability, and existing infrastructure. A startup needs different technologies than an enterprise project.

Yes, we're flexible. If a client already relies on a certain technology or has special requirements, we can adapt. What matters is that the technology fits the problem.

Continuous education: Tech talks, conferences, online courses, experimenting with new technologies. But we don't jump on every hype – we carefully evaluate what brings real value.
