Im putting together a new stack (i do it every 8-10 months). Queue the dramatic music, its not java this time. So far i got Python Flask and maybe React but im not sure yet. Question is, what db should i use? Ill probably go for a json one, thinking about rethinkdb for now, but if anyone has a better idea, please share.

I really like redis

Python Flask is the bomb. If you wanna try something different from good ole relational dbs then mongodb is fine. Easy to get started with it. Personally tho, I dislike noSQL but it is fun how fast you can get started with those.

Also. Check out Vue, might be a good alternative to React since the learning curve for React is bigger than that of Vue.

@AleCx04 i usually use ordbs so i wanna try something new. Also a nosql db is more than enough for a simple website with like login and stuff.

I usually do vue, thats why i wanna use react a little, seems okay from the docs, but might turn out to be a shitfest, who knows

If you're going to use mongo, check out Python-Eve for data services.

@BindView hopefully you'll like it.

@BindView hey there, can you tell us more about this way of yours of putting a new stack each 8-10 months, how is it working for you? When did you start doing it? What criteria do you use to choose a stack?

I'm really interested in knowing please.

@rising its working well, i love discovering new stuff and most of the concepts transition well, so its not crazy hard either

started roughly 3 years ago, got bored of doing C stuff so i started looking for new things to pick up. Basically i choose a backend+frontend+db every time, throw in some smaller tools like travis or something and then stick to these for the next months.

there is no criteria really, my most ridiculous stack was Haskell Snap + plsql + gdevelop (a js game engine but perfectly good for making websites lol)

The whole point is to discover new things, it helps me a lot because i can pick up new ways of doing old things and i dont get bored

( my main stack is Java Spark + mysql + w3js, i use this for hackathons and stuff, where i have to develop rapidly )

@BindView interesting! I might start doing the same thing. Seems like a good habit to pick up new things.

Do you use these stacks for work, or are they just for personal projects?

@rising i have the leisure to choose my frontend stuff for work now so i tend to try out things at work too

@BindView nice! Seems like you're enjoying.
Keep it up and keep us posted.
Thanx for replying.

How about Firestore?!

Redis++

cockroachdb. I wish they would rename it though ..

@codebanana i wish they didnt, that sound awesome

@ebourgess already used it, was really meh
