Regarding databases, there are plenty of options to choose from. For example, there are relational databases, document storage databases, graph databases, and other types suitable for specialized use cases.
In the context of a SaaS application, you usually need to choose between a relational or a document storage database. In this article, I will explain how to decide which one to use in which scenario.
Next.js for client- and server-side development (alternatively look at Remix). It's a big advantage to use Typescript on both sides instead of mixing programming languages like JS + Rust or GO (or PHP, Python, Ruby ...).
In case you need a database (MySQL or Postgres) then PrismaORM is your best friend. Amazingly good ORM which does all the heavy-lifting for you.
For hosting without database Vercel is the obvious solution. In case you need a database, then look at a good PaaS like Render.com (or if you are in EU then scalingo.com). In any case don't waste time with building infrastructure.
In case you want to see a full application, check out our open-source Kickstarter.
