Tech Stack Evaluation
When to Use
- Comparing frontend/backend frameworks or libraries for new projects
- Evaluating cloud providers (AWS vs Azure vs GCP) for specific workloads
- Planning technology migrations with risk and effort assessment
- Calculating TCO including hidden costs; making build vs. buy decisions
- Assessing open-source library viability and ecosystem health
Do NOT use when: the decision is trivial (use team preference), the technology is already mandated, or this is an emergency production issue.
Context Required
From startup-context: product type, team skills, tech stack, stage, scale, budget. Also ask:
- What problem are you solving? (push back on solution-first thinking)
- Non-negotiable requirements (performance, compliance, team familiarity)
- Team experience with each option and timeline pressure (tight deadlines favor familiar tools)
- Growth expectations that affect scalability requirements
