Looking at most of the threads, I get a feeling that most of the entrepreneurs/startup accounts registered here typically go for Python/Rails framework. Looking at how MS gives away lot of free stuff for startups, I'm surprised that it's not that well represented here. Are there any startups here that use MS stack (asp.net, C# etc) ? Also, it would help if you can elaborate more on why you chose MS stack over the more popular FOSS stuff and would you recommend it to others ?
I use C# for my product but that is because it is a Windows desktop app. I have 5+ years experience with C# and so it was something that I could easily get up and running with minimal fuss and easily create a GUI. I would definitely recommend C# for Windows desktop apps.<p>That being said, I've been thinking of a rewrite in Delphi since it is a language I've wanted to learn and it would give me a native executable which would remove the need for .NET 4.6
I use the Microsoft Stack (ASP.NET MVC5, C#, SqlServer, run in Azure) for JobRudder [1].<p>I wanted to pick something boring (and extremely stable) for my tech stack. Building a company is hard enough without wrangling with new frameworks/languages etc. I learned this the hard way.<p>So far it's been great. The Azure PAAS integration is just icing on the cake.<p>[1] <a href="https://jobrudder.com" rel="nofollow">https://jobrudder.com</a>
We use the .NET framework on quite a large eCommerce site. We use microservices using NServiceBus. Works quite well for us.<p>Don't want to link up my account to where i work, so not going mention where I work.
