A look behind the curtain: my 2025 tech stack for web development, e‑commerce and automation — including frameworks, tools and databases.
Johannes Wigandt

The digital world evolves constantly — frameworks, tools and systems change fast.
To deliver quality and future‑proofing in client projects, I regularly review my tech stack.
Here’s the 2025 setup I rely on.
For backends, Laravel is my first choice. It offers:
In the frontend I use Vue.js and Nuxt.js.
Nuxt enables SEO‑optimised websites that can run as SPA, SSR or SSG — crucial for headless e‑commerce projects.
For relational data I focus on PostgreSQL in 2025: stable, fast and modern (e.g. JSONB).
MySQL remains relevant for Shopware and WordPress.
Firebird matters in migration projects and legacy ERPs.
