Frontend Technologies

As i am most accustomed to Frontend development, i researched Frameworks i have used in the past and if they would be viable for this particular application as it is going to be an ecommerce web app. NextJS As it turns out multiple large ecommerce websites utilize NextJS for their web apps, for example Shopify, Nike and Lego kids, as NextJS allows client side and server side rendering it is a perfect pick for this application, with its good scalability and other features, while being a framework i have used in the past. TailwindCSS Although i couldn't find much information on websites using TailwindCSS for their ecommerce platform i found a large list of components that are designed for ecommerce in mind which leads me to believe it is a great option for me to utilize and use throughout development for fast inline css styling.

Backend

I am not very confident with backend development as it is something I have not often used however i wanted to go for a backend framework that is backed by large companies and is fast, scalable and effective for responsiveness under large loads. I landed on Fastify and although i haven't personally developed using this framework i have been involved in previous projects that have utilised Fastify and i believe it is the perfect framework for this application
