Technologies
Chosen for what you can maintain, not what is new
Every choice here has to survive a question: can this still be hired for, and supported, in Dhaka in five years?
Short answer
BetterSoftZ builds primarily with Laravel, Node.js, React, Next.js and Astro on the web, Flutter and React Native on mobile, PostgreSQL and MySQL for data, and AWS and Cloudflare for infrastructure. Stack choice follows what the system requires and what can be maintained locally, not what is currently fashionable.

How we decide.
Can your team maintain it? If you have PHP engineers in-house, choosing Go because it benchmarks better makes you dependent on us. That is a bad outcome even when it is good for us.
Can it be hired for locally? The Dhaka market is deep in PHP, JavaScript, Python and increasingly Flutter. A niche stack means a long search every time you need another engineer.
Does the problem actually need it? Most business systems are not performance-bound. They are correctness-bound and change-bound, which favours boring, well-understood tools.
Stack questions
Common questions
How do you choose the stack for a project?
By what the system has to do, what your team can maintain, and what can still be hired for in Bangladesh in five years. A technology nobody local knows is a liability whatever its benchmarks say.
Can you work in the stack we already use?
Usually yes, and we will say plainly if a stack you already run is one we would not be strong in. Taking work we would be learning on your budget is not a favour to either of us.
Do you use AI tools when writing code?
Yes, as an accelerator, with the same review standard applied to everything that reaches your repository. Generated code is reviewed by the engineer who submits it and by a second engineer before merge.
Why so many options rather than one stack?
Because a garment factory floor app, a bank reporting portal and a consumer marketplace have genuinely different requirements. Forcing all three into one stack serves the vendor, not the client.
Not sure what your system should be built in?
Describe what it has to do and who will maintain it. We will give you a recommendation and the reasoning behind it.
