The tech stack you choose for your delivery app will determine its performance, scalability, and development speed. Here's our recommended stack based on building dozens of delivery platforms.
Recommended Stack
- Mobile: Flutter (single codebase for iOS + Android, excellent maps performance).
- Backend: Node.js with Express/Fastify for API, Go for dispatch engine.
- Database: PostgreSQL (orders, users) + Redis (caching, real-time state) + MongoDB (analytics).
- Real-time: Socket.io or AWS IoT Core for GPS tracking and order updates.
- Maps: Google Maps Platform or Mapbox for routing, geocoding, and ETA calculation.
- Cloud: AWS (ECS/EKS for containers, S3 for media, CloudFront for CDN).
