What's your go-to MVP stack?


If you had a billion dollars idea right now, how would you go about implementing an MVP? I'm talking about:

* front-end (React, Vue, Angular, language?)

* styling (Material UI, Bootstrap?)

* backend processing (language, frameworks, hosting?)

* external services (mailing, database, cloud provider?)

Context: I'm trying to build an MVP for an idea, and trying to cure myself from FOMO and stop wasting time on making decisions.

I’m a rails fan because of the sheer speed, so... Frontend: a lightweight jacket framework such as Stimulus, but if there was going to be a mobile app then React Styling: Tailwind Backend: Rails Storage and some processing: Amazon S3 and Lambda depending on the jobs

I would use whatever causes the least amount of friction and maximum simplicity in implementing the MVP.

Everything can be refactored and improved as the concept proves itself out.

* front-end — react

* styling — ant design

* backend processing — app engine, functions (nodejs, typescript)

* external services — postgres, firestore

And GCP though I do have some stuff running in AWS, too.
