# Recommended tools

When Corey builds your website or app it recommends a best-practice stack - Cloudflare for hosting and cookieless analytics, Neon for the database, and WorkOS for logins - and lists why. It always asks first: if you are already on another platform or prefer a different setup, Corey works with that instead. On a non-Cloudflare site the analytics recommendation is Fathom, also cookieless. Every account stays in your name.

## FAQ
Q: Do I have to use the stack you recommend?
A: No. Corey recommends Cloudflare, Neon and WorkOS because they are fast, privacy-respecting and easy to live with, and it explains why - but it always asks first. If you already have a site on another platform, or want a different setup, Corey builds on that instead. Every account is in your name.

Q: What if I am not on Cloudflare?
A: Then Corey recommends Fathom for analytics - also cookieless and fully compliant, with no cookie banner - instead of Cloudflare Web Analytics. The rest of your setup stays whatever you and Corey agree on.

Q: Do you earn anything if I sign up through your links?
A: Some links are referral links, and a few also give you a discount - the Fathom one takes $10 off your first invoice. We only recommend tools we actually build on, referral or not.
