hi,
after having the experience of one year startup from scratch as a co-founder,
my answer would be the following: use the tools that you are the fastest with.
nothing else matters, especially in the beginning.
to be more detailed, i doubt that erlang as a full-stack language is a good
idea. questions that are relevant for me are:
- how fast am i with that technology (again) in terms of
- flexibility/ iterations over the product
- release cycle (continuous deployment)
- is there a good library for form-validation (that i'm familiar with or that
looks at least like its managable)
- is there a good rest library
- is there a usable and proven orm
- can i find people to join the team
- what libraries exist for authentication (oauth…)
- what exists for db-schema migration
IF your project will be successful, you will have more than enough
possibilities to create an erlang service beside the main stack. if not, it
sounds like you're faster with pyramid. also if you're going to succeed, its
natural to refactor or even rewrite parts; fair enough, then you will have
money and manpower.
regarding the db: if you will choose a relational database for main storage,
which makes sense to me, maybe take a look at snowflake (and abilities to
shard) to avoid dead-end situations when you have a little bit more data.
cheers, andi
