SoloDevStack
Tool guides and stack advice for solo developers
About SoloDevStack
SoloDevStack is a curated resource hub built specifically for solo developers, indie hackers, and small teams who need to ship products fast without a large engineering team. It provides opinionated guides, tool recommendations, and architecture patterns for developers who wear multiple hats: frontend, backend, DevOps, and marketing all at once. The content focuses on practical, battle-tested technology stacks that minimize operational complexity while maximizing productivity. SoloDevStack covers topics like choosing the right hosting provider, setting up CI/CD pipelines for one-person teams, selecting databases that scale without a DBA, and building authentication without enterprise overhead. Each recommendation is evaluated through the lens of a solo developer: total cost, maintenance burden, learning curve, and scalability path. The site also covers productivity tools, development workflows, and strategies for launching products as a solo founder. Whether you are building a SaaS, marketplace, or content platform, SoloDevStack helps you make informed technology decisions that keep your stack lean, affordable, and manageable for a team of one.
