My experience is that requirements are almost orthogonal to what stack will be chosen. CTO going to a conference, tech lead being bored, founder having a friend who knows "shit", developers padding resume and so own impact the choice way more than actual requirements. 99.999% of the projects can be done using any mature lang + PostgreSQL or PostgreSQL compatible newSQL variant.
