Before we dive into numerous architecture choices and programming languages for developing mobile apps, let’s define what tech stack is. A technology stack is a combination of programming languages, frameworks, libraries, and tools employed to create a mobile or web application.

A complete tech stack can be divided into two main areas – front-end and back-end development. These are also referred to as client-side and server-side of an application. There are also other critical areas that constitute the anatomy of an application, such as development platform, user experience, security, robustness, scalability, etc.
