Help me pick a framework for [PROJECT] . No fanboyism — the trade offs. Project constraints: What it is: [SaaS DASHBOARD / MARKETING SITE / INTERNAL TOOL / MOBILE / CLI] Team size + skills: [N devs, primary languages] Timeline to first customer: [WEEKS] Traffic shape at launch: [RPS] Traffic shape at 12 months (honest): [RPS] Hosting budget: [SERVERLESS OK / VPS ONLY / K8S REQUIRED] SEO importance: [CRITICAL / NICE / NONE] Realtime needs: [NONE / SOCKETS / CRDT] Candidates in the ring: [LIST THE 3 4 YOU'RE ACTUALLY CONSIDERING] Score each on: Time to first customer for MY team Hiring pool in [MY MARKET / REMOTE] Migration cost if I outgrow it Cold start / TTFB on my hosting Ecosystem for [AUTH / PAYMENTS / MY DOMAIN NEEDS] The one thing it's genuinely bad at Verdict: one framework, one sentence of why, and the ONE risk I'm accepting by picking it.
