Introducing Stack Advice

Imagine that you’re looking to build a realtime messaging service into your SaaS application (a Rails app), and you’re not sure whether or not you should use Kafka or RabbitMQ for queuing and retrying messages. What if instead of Googling around aimlessly, texting/calling/emailing people you know, or @channel’ing random channels on Slack, you could easily tap into a large network of developers and engineers that have experience with both Kafka and RabbitMQ? Well wake up, your dream has come true ✨

Today, we’re excited to announce Stack Advice - an easy way to get and give advice on specific tech stack decisions 👊🏾 Stack Advice is a new way for you to connect with a community of developers to get help making important technology decisions.

The reality is, more often than not, there is no right answer to “which one is better: React or Vue.js?” It almost always depends on a number of different factors- context matters. So while continue to be useful- there’s nothing like talking to other people who have experience with the tech stack you’re trying to decide on.
