Software development is trend-sensitive. Every month there is a new JavaScript framework that "changes everything". Developers dive on it because it's new and exciting.
But for your business, "exciting" is often synonymous with "risky".
The Lindy Effect
There is a concept called the Lindy Effect: the expected life expectancy of a technology is proportional to how long it has already existed.
- SQL has been around since 1974. It will still be here in 50 years.
- Last week's newest JS framework? Chances are it won't be supported in 3 years.
When we build software for the long term (and we do), we choose technology that has stood the test of time.
Our "Boring" Stack
We consciously use technologies that some might label as "boring":
- MySQL: A proven, robust database that forms the backbone of the internet. No experimental NoSQL solutions, but solid relational data integrity.
- Custom PHP Framework: We don't use existing frameworks full of unnecessary bloat. Every line of code is written with a purpose: maximum security and performance, specifically tailored to your application.
- Vanilla HTML/CSS/JS: No heavy frontend frameworks that break every month due to updates. Just the standards of the web, for a lightning-fast user experience.
What's in it for you?
- Less Maintenance: Because the foundation doesn't change, you don't have to pay for expensive upgrades every year just to "keep up".
- Higher Speed: Without the baggage of heavy frameworks, your application loads instantly.
- Simple Hosting: No complex cloud infrastructure needed. A simple server suffices.
Boring technology is profitable technology. It just works. Day in, day out.
