Tech Stack Advisor

Answer four questions and get a shortlist of technologies to discuss, with the reasoning behind each.

Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you enter is sent to a server.

1. What are you building?
2. Does it need to work offline?
3. How big is the team that will maintain it?
4. What matters most?
A starting point, not a recommendation for your exact case. Real choices depend on your team, systems and constraints.

Answer all four questions to see a suggested shortlist.

How it works

Your four answers (project type, offline need, team size and top priority) are matched against a small set of rules that reflect common engineering trade-offs. The result is a shortlist of technologies, each with a plain explanation of why it came up.

Suggestions are limited to technologies named on Soch Tech’s service pages, plus neutral generic categories such as “web front end framework”. The aim is to help you start a conversation with a clearer picture, not to replace a proper assessment.

Common uses

  • Preparing for a first conversation with a development partner.
  • Sanity-checking a stack before you commit to it.
  • Seeing how priorities like speed or security change the typical options.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a recommendation for my project?

No. It is a starting point for a conversation. Real technology choices depend on your team’s skills, existing systems, budget, data, compliance needs and timeline, none of which a four-question form can capture.

Why only these technologies?

The shortlist is limited to technologies named on the Soch Tech service pages (Flutter, React Native, Kotlin, Swift, .NET, Java, Electron, Python, MySQL, MongoDB, SQL Server and Oracle) plus neutral generic categories. Many other good options exist.

Are my answers stored or sent?

No. The suggestion is calculated in your browser from simple rules, and nothing is transmitted.

How are the suggestions chosen?

A fixed set of readable rules maps your answers to commonly cited trade-offs, for example one shared codebase for speed to market, native code for direct access to platform security features, and mature typed platforms for long-lived systems. There is no hidden scoring or machine learning.
