Front end and content
This is the layer visitors and editors actually touch. Settle first whether you are building an application or a content site. Most of the shortlist falls away.
Get your stack pick- Web Frameworks Next.js, Astro, Remix, Nuxt, SvelteKit and Qwik, picked by the brief that fits.
- Static Site Generators Astro, Eleventy, Hugo, Jekyll and Gatsby, picked by build size and team shape.
- Headless CMS Sanity, Payload, Storyblok, Contentful, Strapi, Directus and Supabase, chosen around the editorial team.
Data and identity
Where the records live, and who may see them. The data model and the buyer’s procurement checklist settle more than any benchmark does.

Search, retrieving context for models, and the coding agents that build all of it. Match each to the workload. Not to the launch announcement.
Get your stack pick- Search Infrastructure Algolia, Typesense, Meilisearch, Pagefind, Elasticsearch and Postgres FTS, matched to the workload.
- Vector Databases pgvector, Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, Chroma and Turbopuffer for real RAG workloads.
- AI Coding Tools Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, Codex and Aider, judged by the actual engineering loop.
Hosting and runtime
Where the code runs, and what the bill looks like at ten times the traffic. Runtime fit comes first. The pricing curve comes second.
