Security & Privacy

Why showing tech stack is safe

Displaying technology names (like "Stack Auth", "Stripe", "Drizzle ORM") on duarteswebsites.com is standard practice and safe when implemented correctly. Here's what actually matters for security:

  • ✓Never expose: API keys, database URLs, secrets, or environment variables
  • ✓Always use: Environment variables for sensitive data, proper authentication, and secure coding practices
  • ✓Security comes from: Proper implementation, not hiding which libraries you use
  • ✓Tech stack visibility: Demonstrates expertise and helps potential clients understand your capabilities

All projects follow security best practices with proper authentication, type-safe database queries, and secure API integrations.
