Ask HN: Which stack will get my MVP API off the ground fastest?
I have an idea for a service as a side business and need some kind of E-commerce API for it. The main feature is it’s going to produce one-off artifacts and none of the off-the-shelf solutions I’ve looked at really fit.
Basically I need a way to stand up an API with an /price/ endpoint and a /orders/ endpoint that run a bit of logic, put stuff in a database and trigger the payment processor flow. Easy-peasy except I have analysis paralysis over what to build it with and where to host it.
I’m comfortable with “classic” .net and dabbled in Node.js. I’d love to build it as an .Net Web API but the prospect of cloud hosting scares me (plus azure is freakin pricy).
