Web development stack

Does our web development stack really need another technology? Modern web development involves a deluge of files, systems, and components:

  • HTML content and templates
  • CSS stylesheets and preprocessors such as Sass
  • Client-side JavaScript including frameworks such as React, Vue.js, and Svelte
  • Build tools such as bundlers, minifiers, etc.
  • Web servers such as NGINX or Apache
  • Server-side runtimes and frameworks including Node.js, PHP, Python, Ruby, .NET, etc.
  • Databases such as MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, or MongoDB
  • Other services for caching, message queues, email, process monitoring, etc.
  • Git and Github for source control

Managing this stack can be a challenge.
