When building software, one of the most overlooked questions is: “Will this app still be easy to maintain in 10 years?”
At Chess Coders, we build for the long run. That’s why long-term stability is at the core of every decision we make—starting with our technology stack.

The Technology Stack That Powers Lasting Software

We don’t chase trends. We carefully select battle-tested, widely adopted technologies that developers around the world rely on.

Here’s what we use:

Frontend

• React – the industry standard for building dynamic user interfaces

• Next.js – optimized for performance, SEO, and scalability

• HTML, CSS, Tailwind CSS – the foundation for clean, responsive design

Backend

• Express.js – minimal and fast, perfect for scalable APIs

• MongoDB or PostgreSQL – robust database options, depending on the use case

Dev Tools & Infrastructure

• Node.js – asynchronous, event-driven architecture for powerful backends

• Git & GitHub – version control and collaboration made seamless

• DigitalOcean App Platform – fast deployment, easy scaling

• JIRA Software – efficient project management, transparency, and agility

Minimal Plugins. Maximum Performance.

Many development teams rely on heavy plugins. Not us.

At Chess Coders, we only use plugins that are:

• Lightweight

• Proven in production

• Free of unnecessary dependencies

This minimizes security vulnerabilities, avoids technical debt, and keeps your app blazing fast.

Why Long-Term Tech Choices Matter

Choosing a solid tech stack is like laying the foundation for a building. It determines how easy it will be to:

• Scale your app

• Hire new developers

• Fix bugs and release features

• Stay secure against evolving threats

When you work with us, you can rest easy knowing that your app will be maintainable and secure for years to come. Even a decade from now, you’ll still find skilled developers familiar with our tools and able to extend your app.
