// The Triform Digital Technology Stack
Over decades of experience with every kind of language, paradigm, and methodology, we’re doing something a bit unusual for a tech company: we’re planting our flag and sharing why we believe in the stack we use. It works. It makes development faster. And we think it’s worth being open about what we’ve chosen—and why.
// The Legacy Issue
Many software companies are so focused on delivery that they rarely take the time to upgrade their tech stack. It’s often easier to reuse a login screen from last month’s project, a user dashboard from something built last year, patch in some new functionality, and move on to the next job. But repeat that process over time, and you end up with an application that’s years behind the technology curve—or so tangled that updating it would take longer than rebuilding it from scratch.
If you’re working with a provider, ask them what stack your application is built on. Then look up the release dates of those frameworks—you might be surprised by how outdated they really are.
// How we avoid the legacy issue
Some fundamentals in software never change—a loop is still a loop, an “if” is still an “if,” and bad code is still bad code. But the layers those basics sit on? They evolve constantly. Think of it like your TV: the one in your living room is light-years ahead of what your parents had, even though both play the same shows.
That’s why we build using modern frameworks that require us to stay current. Every time we deploy changes, the frameworks ensure we’re running on the latest versions. So if we’re maintaining your application, you’re always up to date—no legacy headaches, no surprise tech debt. In other words, you’re future-proof.
// What is the Triform Digital Stack?
For web development, we use .NET (currently version 9) for all the heavy lifting on the server side, paired with any database technology you prefer. On the front end—what you see in the browser—we use Vue.js to build fast, responsive interfaces.
For mobile development, we focus exclusively on Android. We’ve spent a lot of time trying to work with Apple’s ecosystem, but the development process is so complex and frustrating that we’ve chosen to step away—for now. Until Apple streamlines its tools and process, we’re leaving iOS development to braver souls.
When it comes to IoT, we start by prototyping with ESP32. Once it’s time to scale up, we work with trusted hardware partners to move from prototype to production-ready devices.
All of the technologies above ultimately lead to the same place: a system for data to go, flow, and be put to use. For that, we rely on Microsoft Azure. It’s a powerful platform with everything a business needs to grow and adapt. Their AI offerings are especially strong and continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible.
// Legacy Applications - Will you help?
It depends. We offer a free review of whatever you currently have, and based on that, we’ll give you a clear, honest answer.
Technology is complex and constantly evolving. Like any field, it takes experience and deep understanding to build solutions that truly work well and stand the test of time.
As a result, there are a lot of poorly built applications out there. We don’t work with bad code—but we will work with you to get to a better place.
// Other Technologies - Will you help?
Again, it depends. If your application is built in PHP—and unless it was developed by someone truly experienced—then it’s usually a firm no from us.
That said, we always offer a free review of your current setup and will give you an honest assessment. The core issue is that technology is incredibly complex, and like in any industry, many businesses and individuals simply don’t have the expertise needed to get it right.
