Ask HN: What tech stack would you choose for a serious, long-term business app

If you were about to start building a very vital brand new application for your company that needs to be maintained long term what tech stack would you choose? Put aside what devs at your company may already be comfortable with and lay out what you think is best.

When I ask tech stack I'm talking the whole dam thing, for example:

DB engine : ie MySQL, Postgres

API layer : ie Node w/joy, Java w/spring, PHP w/laravel, Elixer w/phoenix

Frontend SPA : ie React, Vue (do you use typescript or flow, webpack etc)

Caching : ie Redis, Mongo

PaaS : ie AWS, Google, Azure

Interested to hear your thoughts, and don't want any flame wars stating x is always better than y etc.

Feel free to just specify the stack but better to also back up why you think it is best in a few sentences.
