I'm planning to build a new SaaS product and I'm doing a fresh evaluation of tech stacks. The landscape has changed a lot in the past 2 years with AI-assisted coding, new frameworks, and the rise of serverless.
Here's what I'm considering:
**Option A: Laravel + Vue/React (traditional full-stack)**
- Proven, mature ecosystem
- Great for rapid prototyping
- Strong ORM and auth out of the box
- Easier to find developers
**Option B: Next.js + Supabase (modern serverless)**
- Excellent developer experience
- Built-in auth, database, storage
- Edge functions for global performance
- TypeScript-first
**Option C: Django + React (Python-first)**
- Great if you need ML/AI integration
- Strong admin panel out of the box
- Large ecosystem
**Option D: Go/Rust backend + React frontend**
- Maximum performance
- Lower hosting costs at scale
- Steeper learning curve
My use case: B2B SaaS, ~500 initial users, needs good API performance, some AI features, and I want to move fast.
What would you choose and why? I'm especially interested in hearing from people who've actually shipped products with these stacks.
