Hey all,
I was wondering when you are building SaaSs or any other applications what tools for frontend/backend do you use?
I personally like Django DRF for backend + NextJS for frontend + some stuff like celery and celery beat to keep things rolling.

Nice stack!
I usually go with Laravel or Django for the backend, depending on the type of project and the team I’m working with.
For the frontend, I often use Next.js if I need something reactive and SEO-friendly, or stick with Livewire when I want to keep everything within the Laravel ecosystem. It’s great for building dynamic UIs without a full JS framework.
On the infrastructure side, I’m a big fan of Docker for local development and deployments, and I usually pair it with Terraform to manage cloud resources.
For background jobs, Celery is great on the Python side, and with Laravel, I typically use Horizon to manage queues and monitor workers.
Overall, I try to keep the stack simple, but flexible enough to scale when needed!
