Unified Tech Stack Service

A comprehensive service that combines recommendations from both the Template Manager and Tech Stack Selector services to provide unified, intelligent tech stack recommendations.

🎯 Overview

The Unified Tech Stack Service acts as a unison between two powerful recommendation engines:

1. Template Manager Service - Provides permutation and combination-based recommendations
2. Tech Stack Selector Service - Provides domain and budget-based recommendations

🚀 Features

Core Capabilities

• Unified Recommendations: Combines both template-based and domain-based recommendations
• Intelligent Analysis: Analyzes and compares recommendations from both services
• Hybrid Approach: Provides the best of both worlds in a single response
• Service Health Monitoring: Monitors both underlying services
• Flexible Configuration: Configurable endpoints and preferences

🔍 How It Works

1. Claude AI Recommendations (NEW - Intelligence Matters)

• AI-Powered: Uses Claude AI to analyze template, features, and business context
• Context-Aware: Considers business questions and answers for personalized recommendations
• Comprehensive: Provides detailed reasoning for each technology choice
• Source: Claude AI (Anthropic)
• Use Case: When you need intelligent, context-aware recommendations

2. Template-Based Recommendations (Order Matters)

• Permutations: [Feature A, Feature B, Feature C] ≠ [Feature C, Feature A, Feature B]
• Combinations: {Feature A, Feature B, Feature C} = {Feature C, Feature A, Feature B}
• Source: Template Manager Service
• Use Case: When user selects features in specific order or as unordered sets

3. Domain-Based Recommendations (Context Matters)

• Budget-Aware: Recommendations based on budget constraints
• Domain-Specific: Tailored for specific business domains (finance, healthcare, etc.)
• Source: Tech Stack Selector Service
• Use Case: When user has budget and domain requirements

4. Comprehensive Approach (Best of All Three)

• AI + Template + Domain: Combines all three approaches intelligently
• Technology Merging: Deduplicates and merges technologies from all sources
• Confidence Scoring: Calculates comprehensive confidence scores
• Quality Assessment: Analyzes recommendation quality from all services
• Fallback Mechanisms: Graceful degradation when services are unavailable

📈 Benefits

For Developers

• Single API: One endpoint for all tech stack recommendations
• Comprehensive Data: Gets Claude AI, template-based, and domain-based insights
• Intelligent Analysis: Built-in comparison and analysis across all sources
• Flexible Usage: Can use individual services or comprehensive approach
• AI-Powered: Leverages Claude AI for intelligent, context-aware recommendations

For Applications

• Better Recommendations: More comprehensive and accurate recommendations from multiple sources
• Reduced Complexity: Single service to integrate instead of multiple
• Improved Reliability: Fallback mechanisms if services fail
• Enhanced Analytics: Built-in analysis and comparison capabilities
• Context-Aware: Considers business context and requirements for personalized recommendations
