I built CoderTest [1]. It is an online screening platform to evaluate a software engineer’s technical abilities.
I'm using a combination of Node.js, Golang, React+Redux, Express.js, MongoDB, Redis, Docker, AWS Fargate, Heroku, DigitalOcean, Netlify, AWS SNS, AWS SES, Stripe and Github.
I managed to go from idea to product in 3 weekends. I could have built the same thing with any programming language and hosting provider, but not with the same speed. The result is that I am able to iterate and build much faster by using a tech stack that I am very familiar with.
