Modern Frontend Stack
A pragmatic modern frontend stack for teams building production-grade web applications with strong UI capabilities and reliable deployment. This stack focuses on proven rendering libraries, visualization, and simple cloud-native delivery.

Why This Stack Works
This stack combines a battle-tested frontend framework approach with powerful UI and visualization libraries. Ionic provides a solid foundation for building modern, responsive web applications using standard web technologies, while PixiJS and ECharts cover advanced rendering and data visualization needs often required in modern products. VisX complements these by enabling flexible, composable visualizations for more complex UI scenarios. For deployment, Docker and CapRover work together to give frontend teams a simple but robust path from local development to production. Docker standardizes builds and environments, while CapRover offers an opinionated, developer-friendly PaaS layer that reduces operational overhead. This allows frontend teams to stay focused on UI and user experience rather than infrastructure. Alternatives such as heavier full-stack frameworks or enterprise hosting platforms were avoided in favor of lightweight, focused tools already proven in frontend-heavy teams. While dedicated state management and testing tools are not strongly represented in the available list, this stack leaves room to integrate those externally if needed.
