My chosen stack is React (DaisyUI, deployed with cloudflare) + Node (Hapi is batteries included, deployed using GCP cloud run). One benefit of this stack is that there's no cloud vendor lock-in. The only drawback thus far is that Hapi with Typescript is not that well documented and of course higher latency than dedicated infra.
I'm still unsure about what 'serverless' database is optimal (cockroachdb, neondb, planetscale, mongodb) so I went with what my last profitable side project used - mongodb.
At some point I'd like to compare the performance of psql jsonb to mongodb, I've watched some talks a few years ago stating that psql with jsonb outperforms mongodb. I wonder if that's still the case in 2023.
I've experimented with golang before as I wanted something easier to scale than node + minimal dependencies but then I realized I am just writing my own web framework so I settled on Hapijs, it's faster than express and has less dependencies, it was/is run in prod at Walmart.
