Coming up with a Tech stack
Next.js
What is Next.js?
An opinionated, intuitive web framework based on react.
Why use Next.js
- This project has high involvement of frontend as well as backend.
- Next.js blurs the lines between frontend and backend allowing us to integrate them with ease.
Firebase vs AWS
What is Firebase?
A BaaS (Backend as a service) based on GCP.
What is AWS?
Amazon web services, largest cloud services provider.
Comparison
- Both providers provide us with reliable services for authentication, authorization, storage and database. We try to host all the services with a single provider, to keep the project and billing well organized.
- The pricing is very similar
- Firebase gets an edge in the developer experience section.
Service descriptions
- Authentication: Auth with Google, Facebook, email-password
- Authorisation: Let’s us give users a profile
- Storage: Profile photos and other media files
- Database: (Firestore) A no-sql database
AWS
For email service via SES(Simple email service), (yes AWS didn’t lose yet, no email solution in Firebase or GCP)
Vercel
Most convenient server host for Next.js (the firm which develops Next.js, however it can be deployed on any server)
Stripe
Popular and reliable payment gateway, (client prefers it)
