Ask HN: What is your full stack?

12 pointsvishalzone200220 comments

What technologies do you use for your full-stack?

AWS for everything: EC2 with VPC's, S3/CF, Load balancer, OpsWork, running on Ubuntu 14.04.

Then Ansible, Git, Nginx, Varnish, Redis, Angular and Bootstrap. And CloudFlare for DNS/CDN/optimization/DDoS protection.

Frontend: Various JS libs | LESS | Bootstrap | Bower | Gulp

Everything on Amazon automated with chef and OpsWork

Nginx, Elasticsearch, Unicorn, Ruby on Rails, Javascript, Redis, Postgres and HTML/CSS.

Softlayer, Nginx, Elasticsearch, Django, Javascript/Jquery, Redis, Postgres and HTML/CSS.

Google App Engine, Google Cloud SQL, Python, Django, Angular, Polymer, Twitter Bootstrap

Any particular micro-ORMs (or full blown ones) that you recommend for using with Node/Hapi and Postgres?

Java,Jersey,Tomcat,Titan,Cassandra,Backbone @ Digital Ocean

Ubuntu Server, Web.py, SQLite/Postgres, JQUERY, Nginx

AWS, Mongo, PHP, Fat-Free, jQuery, Bootstrap

Digital Ocean, sometimes Linode

Linux kernel

Ubuntu for Servers

Probably quite a bit of glibc

Postgres

Redis

Ansible

Nginx

Sidekiq

Puma

Ruby

Rails

ERb

SCSS

JavaScript

React.js

Web browsers

CSS

HTML

That was in order from bottom of the stack to the syrup on top of the stack.

Can you explain to the uninitiated, what does Redis do for you in this stack? I read the whole chapter on it in "Seven Databases" but it just didn't click for me what Redis is for. Pardon my ignorance.

redis is an in-memory(with persistence) data-structures server,

do you need a set,increment,get+put,cache(like memcache),hyperloglog,list,hashes,bitarray,sorted_list + custom_lua_functions that you want to access from multiple web-servers ?

I guess I don't, or if I do, I don't know it yet.

Meteor

The fact that the answer is only one word is exactly why I love Meteor for MVPs and prototypes

wow this is new to me. thanks

I've recently been playing around with Dart, and it's a one word answer by itself.

Also Dart has ruined JavaScript for me. I'm not sure if I can go back.

and then you rewrite it?
