Top tech stack for small businesses?

There’s no demand for “tech stacks” in small, medium, or large business. The demand is for solutions to business problems. Those solutions may involve software. The form the software takes — the “stack” — is largely irrelevant. The only time companies care about languages and tools and frameworks is when they have committed to those already and need people who can work effectively with what they have.

No business ever had the requirement “We need 10,000 lines of Javascript” (or Rust, or anything). I think you misunderstand the difference between solutions and tools.

“Small business” is not a market for software and services, either. That term describes everything from coffee shops and restaurants to dry cleaners to lawyers to nail salons.

Salesforce.

Small biz (in general) doesn't do fully custom code. They simply don't have the budget for it. But they do sales, so often have a CRM, and Salesforce is the leading CRM. When they need to start having some custom work, adding some new forms and workflows in Salesforce is often step 1. Adding custom code in Salesforce is step 2. And if they grow beyond that... they are no longer a small biz.

If you really want to work for small biz, you will be implementing other SaaS products, not writing new ones. And that is completely legit work, with plenty of opportunity. Just maybe not the type you were hoping for.

The best tech stack is the one you know best. Especially for a small business where timing is everything.

I couldn't agree more with previous comments. Moreover, I bumped into an article https://computools.com/custom-software-development-for-small... It describes custom software development for small business needs in today's market.

Whatever you're familiar with. Unless you have specific requirements otherwise, just write what you're most productive in. Ultimately, it's the product that'll sell, not your code.
