Building a Product is Like Cooking a Hamburger: Tech Stack Choices

Focus on your “secret sauce” - where many startups become tomato farmers. The Tech Stack choice that drives speed in SaaS Startups.

2 min read · Feb, 2025

Building a product from scratch is like making a burger: sure, you could grow the wheat, raise the cattle, and harvest the vegetables yourself—but why would you? It’s doable, but it’s an incredibly time-consuming way to get something you could just order.

 

If you want a cost-efficient burger, you don’t start by grinding your own beef—you go for quality ingredients that save you time and effort. The same applies to web and mobile development: a powerful JavaScript tech stack with pre-built libraries and frameworks like React, Node.js, and AWS streamlines the process, reducing the steps needed to build a scalable, market-ready application.

 

Choosing the right tech stack determines how fast and cost-effectively your product reaches the market, but what really matters is the secret sauce.

Choosing the burger ingredients: Tech Stack

 

For a cost-efficiency burger, you need a JavaScript tech stack that offers a vast ecosystem with pre-built libraries and frameworks like React, Node.js, and AWS, reducing the steps needed to build a scalable, market-ready application.

 

With JavaScript’s dominance across industries, startups benefit from a larger talent pool, ensuring faster iterations, seamless scalability, and lower hiring costs. According to the Stack Overflow Developer Survey (2025, January 1), JavaScript has been the most used programming language for over a decade, and leading companies like Netflix, LinkedIn, and PayPal rely on it for efficient cross-platform development.
