The Problem We Solve
Every developer has experienced it: hours lost debugging mysterious errors, only to discover that two technologies in your stack simply don't work well together. Prisma with Edge Runtime. Firebase Client SDK in Server Components. MongoDB connection pooling on serverless platforms.
These compatibility issues aren't bugs in your code—they're architectural mismatches that could have been caught before you wrote a single line. But until now, discovering these conflicts meant scouring GitHub issues, Stack Overflow threads, and documentation scattered across dozens of sources.
Our Solution
DevRadar is like PCPartPicker, but for software. We help you validate your tech stack—framework, database, hosting, and AI coding tools—before you commit to building with them.
Select your technologies, and we'll instantly check for known compatibility issues, partial support scenarios, and deprecated combinations. No more discovering mid-project that your ORM doesn't support your hosting platform's runtime.
How It Works
Our platform maintains a comprehensive database of technology compatibility information:
- Compatibility Rules: Curated rules covering common technology pairs, including status (compatible, partial, incompatible), known issues, and workarounds.
- Technology Profiles: Detailed information about frameworks, databases, hosting platforms, and AI coding tools—including their constraints and best use cases.
- AI Tool Tracking: Comprehensive analysis of AI coding tools like Lovable, Bolt.new, Cursor, and Claude Code—including which stacks they support and their limitations.
Our Data
We take data accuracy seriously. Our compatibility database is built through:
- Continuous analysis of official documentation and changelogs
- Monitoring of GitHub issues and community discussions
- Periodic deep research across dozens of authoritative sources
- Verification against real-world project configurations
Our data is updated regularly to reflect the fast-moving JavaScript and web development ecosystem. When React 19, Next.js 15, or new Edge Runtime constraints emerge, we update our rules to keep you informed.
Who We Serve
DevRadar is built for developers who want to move fast without breaking things:
- Solo Developers & Indie Hackers: Validate your stack before committing to a tech decision you'll regret.
- Tech Leads & Architects: Make informed technology choices with data-backed compatibility insights.
- Vibe Coders: Understand what your AI coding tool locks you into before you start building.
- Teams Adopting New Technologies: Assess compatibility risks when introducing new tools to your stack.
Our Commitment
We believe developers deserve transparent, accurate information about the tools they use. That's why:
- Free to Use: Basic compatibility checking is free.
- Privacy First: We don't track your tech stack choices or sell your data.
- Transparent Methodology: We document how we gather and verify our compatibility data.
