Practical website architecture, frontend and backend development, deployment, performance, security, and engineering guidance.
What technologies do you actually need to build a website? This guide explains the five layers — frontend, backend, database, server, and domain — using a restaurant-team analogy, compares four common stacks (LAMP, LNMP, MEAN, and serverless), and gives a method for choosing a stack by project type, with a comparison table, answering "what stack do I need and how do I choose."
Every time you type a URL and press Enter, a precise relay race happens behind the scenes: DNS resolution, connection setup, request, response, and rendering. This guide walks through these five stages frame by frame with a "taking a taxi to a restaurant" analogy, includes a full page-load flowchart, and explains how CDN and caching speed things up.
Netlify added four new tiers to its Pro plan, with up to 20,000 monthly credits, lower effective per-credit cost at higher tiers, and unused credits that roll over — making billing more predictable.
