You asked us:

"What's your tech stack for Transistor?"

In this episode, Jon goes into the nerd stuff. What programming language, frameworks, and infrastructure we're using to build our SaaS.

What we recommend:

Programming language: use what you know!Make sure you can connect to the community (both local and on the web)Hosting: use Heroku if you don’t have DevOps experience, AWS is great if you know how to configure itDatabase: MySQL is fine, we use Postgres (good community + features)Design framework: Semantic UI, or BootstrapRepos: GitHubMost important: Get something running as quickly as you can (and into the hands of customers!).
