I am surprised I haven’t seen angular listed here.

I would pick flutter / istio / booternetes / helm

Loving seeing so many Sveltekit + Postgres posts! Truly hard to top the dream team.

I'm a simple man. Node/Express with probably MariaDB and React. Maybe give Tailwind a spin. Same with next.js if I had the time.

Would prefer go on the backend but language switching when doing frontend at the same time is a bit of a pain.

Supabase + Flutter is a stack I can highly recommend if you want to get off the ground fast. Both are extremely intuitive to get started with.

Something boring, well documented, and widely used. The more boring the better. I'd avoid hotshot stacks like the plague because they are usually immature and tend to change quickly.

Ideally, I'd pick something that has OpenAPI as a first class citizen or code generation, including validation.

Django with HTMX + Alpine on the frontend. Deployed as Docker container on a cheap VPS. It's boring, time tested but by Jove, does it get the job done fast.

I'm building a B2B2C marketplace in my free time and I'm blown away by the practicality of this stack. Due to longevity of Django, every problem I encounter is just a search away. DRF makes it dead simple to add REST APIs. The Admin panel is a golden cherry on top.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Do you deploy .NET on Windows or Linux?

You can deploy on both quite easily. The newer .NETs are properly multiplatform

That is probably why they are asking…

Go + HTMX (DB Postgres or Sqlite)
