Technology decisions are architecture decisions. We evaluate every stack against six criteria before writing the first line of code.
Performance requirements
Latency targets, throughput needs, concurrent users. A real-time gaming platform needs Elixir's BEAM VM (2M+ concurrent connections per server, proven at WhatsApp scale). A content portal needs Next.js with static generation for sub-1.8s LCP. We match the runtime to the workload based on TechEmpower benchmarks and our own delivery data.
Team scalability
Hiring pool size, onboarding time, documentation quality. React and Node.js have the largest talent pools - React is used by 40%+ of professional developers (Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2025). Elixir and Solidity require specialized engineers with 2-3x longer hiring cycles. We factor in long-term team growth and regional talent availability.
Security and compliance
HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, smart contract audit requirements. Healthcare projects need battle-tested frameworks with security track records and OWASP Top 10 coverage. DeFi protocols need formal verification tooling (Certora, Echidna) - smart contract exploits caused $1.7B in losses in 2023 (Chainalysis).
Ecosystem maturity
Library availability, community support, long-term maintenance. npm hosts 2M+ packages (largest registry). PyPI has 500K+. Hex (Elixir) has 15K+ - smaller but battle-tested for its niche. We avoid technologies with shrinking ecosystems or single-vendor lock-in. Open-source with active communities wins.
Time-to-market
MVP timeline, iteration speed, deployment complexity. React Native delivers iOS and Android in one codebase - reducing development cost by 30-50% compared to separate native builds (Statista 2025). Elixir's LiveView eliminates the need for a separate front-end framework, cutting full-stack complexity by 40%.
Total cost of ownership
Infrastructure costs, licensing, developer rates, maintenance burden. Serverless Node.js scales to zero cost at idle. Elixir handles millions of connections on fewer servers - Discord runs 5M concurrent users on a small Elixir cluster. According to Deloitte (2024), 57% of companies outsource to reduce TCO. We optimize for 3-year TCO, not sprint velocity.

Important limitations: No technology is universal. React is not ideal for CPU-intensive server computation. Node.js struggles with heavy parallel processing. Solidity only targets EVM-compatible chains. React Native cannot match native performance for AR/gaming. Elixir has a smaller talent pool than Node.js or Python. We document these trade-offs in Architecture Decision Records before every project starts. See individual technology pages for detailed limitations.

Pharos Production collaborated with a taxi aggregator platform to develop a high-load ride-hailing application that connects passengers and drivers in real time. This platform consolidates various fleets and independent drivers into a single system, ensuring quick ride matching, live tracking and transparent pricing. Built on a cloud-native infrastructure, the solution offers low-latency interactions, reliable trip processing and scalability for operations at the city and regional levels.
Pharos developed a B2B platform that brings keyword research and search visibility analysis together with search data APIs, public-web collection and access through AI assistants. Our responsibility covered the full product.
Pharos Production has partnered with Sagas to create a location-aware social platform that enables users to capture, publish and explore geo-located timelapses over time. This system combines real-time data ingestion, large-scale media processing and map-centric discovery to transform physical locations into dynamic digital stories. Leveraging cloud-native infrastructure and event-driven architecture, Sagas allows users to document urban changes, natural evolution and personal moments tied to specific places. The result is a scalable social network where time and location are central to content discovery.

Pharos Production works across modern web, mobile, AI and blockchain stacks. That includes React, Vue, Angular and Node.js, Python, Go, Java, Kotlin and Swift, plus PyTorch, TensorFlow and LLM platforms like OpenAI and Anthropic, and Solidity for smart contracts.
We deploy on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud with Docker and Kubernetes.
We choose the stack based on your product goals, performance needs, team skills and long-term maintainability, not on trends. For each project we weigh hiring pool, ecosystem maturity, hosting cost and integration requirements.
If you have an existing stack we work within it; for greenfield builds we recommend a stack and explain the trade-offs.
Yes. We maintain and modernize legacy systems including older PHP, Java and .NET codebases and monolithic architectures.
We migrate them to modern frameworks and cloud-native infrastructure using a strangler fig approach, replacing components incrementally so your business keeps running during the transition.
Yes. Our IT consulting and architecture review services help you select the right stack before development.
We assess your requirements, scale targets, compliance needs and budget, then recommend technologies with clear reasoning. Because our consultants also build, the recommendation is grounded in production experience rather than theory.
We are full-stack across front-end, back-end, mobile, AI and blockchain, with 90+ engineers who each specialize in specific technologies. That means you get a senior expert in every part of the stack rather than generalists.
We assemble the right mix of specialists for your project technologies.
We build with PyTorch, TensorFlow and scikit-learn for custom models, and integrate frontier LLMs from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google plus open-source models like Llama and Mistral. Our AI work includes RAG systems, AI agents, computer vision and MLOps, with production-grade evaluation, guardrails and monitoring rather than demos.
Yes. We migrate applications to the cloud, move monoliths to microservices, upgrade outdated frameworks and replace end-of-life databases.
Each migration starts with an architecture audit and a phased plan that prioritizes quick wins while reducing risk, so you modernize without a disruptive rewrite.
Our engineers ship production systems across many stacks every year, which keeps skills current through real work rather than certifications alone. We track framework releases, run internal evaluations of new tools and AI models and contribute to open source.
Our technology pages reflect the stacks we actively use in client projects.
