The Latest Tech Stack: Building a Modern Full Stack Application
We'll break it down into five key components: front end, back end, deployment, monitoring, and the database. By the end of this article, you'll have a clear picture of what technologies are trending a
1. The Back End: Rust, Golang, or Node.js
When it comes to the back end, you have a choice: Rust, Golang, or Node.js. Rust and Golang
all of them offer speed, low-level control, and multi-threading capabilities, making them ideal for performance-critical applications. If you opt for Node.js, consider using Next.js for backend routes.
2. The Front End: Next.js
The front end has seen a shift towards Next.js, specifically Next.js 13. It introduces features like server-side components and client-side components, making it an exciting choice. Embrace TypeScript for strict typing and consider using Tailwind CSS for styling.
3. State Management: Recoil
For state management on the front end, Recoil is gaining popularity. It offers a robust solution for managing application state efficiently.

Databases
Deployment
Authentication and Monitoring
The Project
To put these concepts into practice, check out the open-source project dub.sh. It's a link-tracking application, similar to Bitly, built with the stack we discussed.
It's an excellent resource to gain hands-on experience with modern full-stack development.
Conclusion:
In the ever-evolving landscape of software development, staying updated with the latest technologies is crucial. The stack we've explored today represents a modern approach to full-stack development, but remember that trends may shift.
Recoil is not actively managed. MobX is a great alternative state management library that is agnostic to frontend frameworks
Can you comment about Django? I am learning it. How it is with respect to Open Source, GSOC and freelancing etc?
