Where this stack is the right tool
Internal tools, client portals, dashboards, intake and approval workflows, and MVPs that need to be real software rather than a clickable mock. These share a shape: known users, a clear data model, and more value in shipping this quarter than in a bespoke architecture.
It is not the right tool for everything. A content-heavy marketing site belongs on a CMS. A large catalog belongs on Shopify. A university platform with dozens of departmental sites belongs on Drupal. We build all of those too, which is why we can afford to be honest about when not to use this one.
- Internal tools replacing spreadsheet workflows
- Client portals with per-account data isolation
- Dashboards over existing databases and APIs
- MVPs intended to become production software
- Hardening passes on prototypes built elsewhere
