How can you choose the best tools for internet service development?

Step 1: Don't follow the advice of BS AI-generated articles. Step 2: Pad out your commentary to 125 characters so LinkedIn is cool with it.

Usually in my experience a good place to start is first of all understand the target, how many users will this application serve, what type of communication is the application dependent on. For example: Given an app which dose not need to support real time communication, and is mostly used as an API to a data store with hundreds of calls a day, a simple VM with medium to high specs running a monolith could suffice with the right programming language and design patterns. And not a Kubernetes cluster running microservices. It’s important to understand the who, when and where of your targeted users.

I'd love to know how Dianne S. got selected for this "exclusive group of new experts." She won my GOAT award for her contribution. Nearly all modern web application development tools will meet basic requirements for most projects, so don't expect to narrow the field much in this step. Choosing the tools that your team is most familiar/comfortable with is just as good a criterion.

It’s important to understand that there is a way to accomplish anything with any language no matter the challenge. However, should you? Some languages are multi-threaded some are single processed, again this all comes down to what are you trying to build, dose the language offer you an advantage in that field, or would it only hinder your progress and make things difficult along the road. The easiest example is picking a very niche language with a small community and very little resources in regards of documentation, this situation as you might imagine would be quite hard to handle if you are not highly familiar and experienced with that given language.

Refer back to my contribution in the first section. In general, scripted languages are the go-to for Internet apps, while complied languages work more efficiently for firmware and desktop applications. You can tell that my thinking was forged long ago, when Perl was the cutting edge of Internet scripting and C++ was for "real" programmers.

Frameworks are great and offer a wide variety of conveniences, however, in most cases a framework abstracts away the actual intricacies of what is actually going on within your code. Meaning that if you wish to understand and learn the domain you are creating in fully, a framework may stand in your way of truly understanding it.

You can also go commando and code raw in the base language. Back in my day, when the Internet was powered by lamp oil, the computers were made of wood, and the programmers were made of iron, this is how we did it. Even then, code libraries were a useful crutch - you used them but didn't tell anyone.

I wouldn’t spend much time on this, tools change IDE’s, text-editors, and other tools can and will change throughout the time you spend coding. The important part is making sure that you have the right amount of the right tools, meaning that no matter what language or framework you pick. You still have to: - Build/run your code - Test/debug your code - Deploy your code - Monitor your deployed code And continue to run tests on your deployed code, no matter what you are building. So make sure you have at least the tools to answer the above, others will come with use and experience and all will change from time to time, be open to try new tools and techniques.

My rule of thumb here is quite simple, when starting out to build your POC try to relay on open source and free options as much as possible, when finally meet with a situations where a payed solution is the right answer. Try to firstly contact the company of the service in need, in order to establish wither or not the solution truly is suitable to your needs, as well as pricing, more times then not I was able to find a pricing solution together with the provider, which was more in line then the prices mentioned on there websites.

Right around here, the PM starts screaming that the actual coding could have been finished by now. Meanwhile, you've wasted an entire quarter building spreadsheets to compare and rank tools and platforms. This is a signal that you might want to put the feelers out for your next gig.

How important is the actual connection to the internet? Let’s take a step backwards and look at the potential issue of running your business without the internet. One problem that needs to be addressed is: can you run your business with all these new tools without connectivity? NO My many years of experience tell me that having reliable connectivity is essential….but how? I often suggest using SD-Wan to make sure you can manage multiple connection options like Fiber, Broadband, and 5G….. The tool we use for this is a product called BigLeaf SD-Wan, which seamlessly makes multiple connections look like one to the LAN. Relying on one provider is a thing of the past.
