Example question
A product I admire uses lots of services. Is that the best starting point for my idea too?
FreeStack example answer
Use the published stack to understand which problems its makers had to solve. Then list your own requirements. You may need a simple page and one form rather than background workers and several databases. Our build breakdowns separate confirmed source facts from FreeStack’s suggestions, so you can borrow a useful decision without copying the entire architecture.
