What MVP development actually requires in 2026
Default 2026 MVP stack: Next.js + Supabase or Neon Postgres + Stripe + Clerk + Vercel + Resend. Mobile MVPs ship in Expo + EAS. Sub-$50K AI-feature MVPs use OpenAI + LangChain or Vercel AI SDK rather than self-hosted models. MVP velocity demands a T-shaped senior who can move from schema design to UI polish in a single afternoon. Specialist teams (one DB person, one designer, one frontend) burn 30–40% of the budget on hand-offs that a single senior would resolve in a Slack thread.
