The technology you choose to start your project with determines what your product is capable of now and what it will be capable of in the future. Finding the right stack to build on top of is one of the biggest engineering challenges you can face. Picking a stack that allows you to build a product and get to market rapidly is great unless that same choice limits the scalability and features of a product in the future. Pick a stack that is well beyond your current and future needs, and this could lead to difficulties building the initial project you’ve set out to build. A balance must be struck between your current needs and the needs of your product and customers in the future.
