I'm interested in checking out Go.

Could you recommend a stack please? * Testing - test runner, mocking * Database - Typesafe queries, ideally as little abstraction as possible, migrations * Web app framework * Dependency injections (or do you prefer doing it manually over using a library)

Why Remix over Next?

As for the ORM / query building, did you also consider Drizzle and Kysely against Zapatos?

A true background job would be impossible with this stack. Because I was on the Pro plan, in theory I could set the serverless function timeout to 900s.

Thanks Dave! That's a great summary of my experience.

Most of my experience has been with a more "boring" stack, so I was interested in trying some of the more "hyped" technology choices, to see if I was missing out on anything.

What Supabase functionality are you using? Database, Auth, etc.

What has your experience been like with them?

I agree, the context is important here. My use-case was B2B SaaS.

I'm interested it HTMX, but for a project like this I couldn't afford to lose out on React's ecosystem of pre-made components where the goal was to ship a professional looking SaaS web-app quickly.

Yes, exactly hashed and salted by bcrypt.

If I wanted harden this setup, my next consideration would be either having a separate microservice that's purely responsible for auth, or using 3rd party provider like Cognito.

My bias was always to err on the side of popularity. I thought that I would be less likely to encounter frustrating bugs and edge cases using choices that have been battle tested for a least a few years.

What I overlooked is that while the platform might be popular and mostly trustworthy (such as Vercel), there are specific solutions like the Vercel Cron Job are still relatively new (released Feb 2023) and still not ready for serious use.
