Ask HN: What's the fastest and simplest way to prototype a web app in 2023?

I'm looking for something that:

1) Gives you the ability to write a frontend and backend with good flexibility preferably React & Node.

2) Doesn't require a local environment, but still allows me to work on VS Code.

3) Allows me to have a live URL and connect a custom domain.

4) Batteries included, but most importantly a solid and easy to implement authentication paradigm.

What's the best thing right now for this. I'm just looking for a very low or zero-config infra and fast time to production.

I see many options like Vercel, Replit, Render, etc, but I just want to understand if there's a solution or stack that maximizes for efficiency, speed and low configuration, while allowing to scale up if needed.
