Architecture
Tooling Stack Selector
Choose a starter stack based on whether you need retrieval, workflow orchestration, and observability.
What the tool does
This tool recommends a starter stack based on project stage and whether you need retrieval, workflow orchestration, and observability.
Who it's for
It is for teams that know what they want to build but need a smaller, more disciplined stack decision.
When to use it
Use it before the team starts accumulating infrastructure because every framework sounds useful.
Practical Use Case
Helpful for turning architecture intent into a practical stack that is easier to explain, review, and maintain.

Layers
3
- Use a typed app layer with clear task boundaries.
- Add a retrieval layer only after you define authoritative sources and freshness rules.
- Add tracing, evaluation logging, and failure dashboards early.
What This Stack Assumes
- The team is ready to accept more operational responsibility in exchange for control.
- The current use case may still fit inside a simpler request-response app shape.
Stack Risks
- Do not add retrieval without clear source ownership and freshness rules.
- Observability is valuable, but the team still needs to decide what they will actually review.
