Day by day, technology is always updated. It’s bring some advantages to help developers do robust & scalable development. After doing customer interview and validating the problem, you enter the stage to choose the technology stack for your products. Here’s what I learn as a technical founder when building my startup argapos.com.
Choose Tech Stack You Are Best At
Time is an important things to be considered for your startup along the iterative process. Failed Fast Grow Fast is one of the good advised I got from YC Startup School in last year.
Sometimes, blood of engineer is boiling when new technology stack comes and trying to use it in the development. I strongly recommend that you have stop do that before you’ve already achieved PMF, cause you need more time to explore it and make product launches slow down.
You have to choose technology stack you are best at, so you can launch it soon as possible and get validated before scaling.
I built this Point of sales SaaS based for 2 months with tech stack I am best at. If you are running a small business and need to handle record sales, inventory and stock for easy, I suggest you can request for demo and try. Ok, we go to the next point.
Try NoCode Platform if It’s Possible for your MVP Version
There are a lot of NoCode platforms that help you building products quickly such as Bubble.io, Notion, AirTable and so on. That platform can help you saving times create MVP rather than building from scratch.
Avoid Spend Much Money on Infrastructure
Sometimes you need a cool infrastructure to support your product running, no issue found there. But more better, you have calculated your initial fund with the cost need for that infra, unless you have a huge fund at early stage. There are several options for you may choose such as paid per used model, free 3rd party serviced for limited storage or traffic, free for x mail transaction send and etc.
When your startup get a good attention and more traffic from your customer and paid for your products, you can scale and use the premium services and scaled infrastructure. My point is to use the fund for top prioritize before your startup achieved PMF with some metrics defined by your team.
Wish you all the best
