MariaDB/MySQL + PHP + HTML/CSS and some vainilla JavaScript if necessary. What else is needed? I deploy in production using FTP. My version control is ZIP files in some old hard drive. Of course, this won't work if you're working in a team or are developing a huge web app, but for 99% of use cases, this just works.
The only thing I focus on is valid markup, accessibility, performance, good error handling, and getting a 100% in Lighthouse. At least I'm doing better than my bank's "modern" home banking app in Angular that breaks half of the time and can't even handle multiple tabs :)
