# Research Competitor Tech Stacks

A competitor's technology stack reveals more than technical preferences — it exposes their capabilities, constraints, scalability limits, and development velocity. Knowing that a competitor uses a monolithic architecture versus microservices, or that they rely on a specific database, tells you where they can move fast and where they are likely stuck.

ToolRouter's competitor-research tool analyzes publicly detectable technology signals including frontend frameworks, server infrastructure, analytics tools, CDN providers, and third-party integrations. It pieces together a technology profile that informs both competitive strategy and technical architecture decisions.

This intelligence is particularly valuable for CTOs evaluating build-vs-buy decisions, engineering teams choosing their own stack, and sales teams who need to understand the technical landscape when selling to engineering buyers.
