As an indie founder, I prefer to use Node/Express and React/Redux, hosted on Digital Ocean. Really fast and convenient to build SaaSes and single page apps like:

https://helix.startuplab.io

If I don't need a lot of fancy interactive functionality, and am building more of a usual web 2.0 website, I sometimes go with Django/PostgreSQL:

https://fictionhub.io

http://webacademy.io

http://lumiverse.io

For static blogs and content websites, I go with pelican generated sites simply served with nginx:

Node and React/Redux, both with TypeScript. Starting to wish I'd learned PureScript so I didn't have to make do with Ramda for scaling.

Thanks for your work on the ec2 AMIs. Just deployed a lambda script that spins up a FreeBSD ec2 image that checks out, compiles, and runs the contents of a dynamically provided git url, with dynamically specified pkg and pip dependencies to make my own long-running FreeBSD-based lambda-esque service for some continuous deployment. Wouldn’t have been possible without the ec2 images and the configinit magic. -mqudsi@ne…

Awesome! Have you considered writing something about this setup? I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in hearing more.

Good idea! Hopefully will get around to doing so sooner rather than later :)

How do you do migrations with Golang? Which ORM do you use?

Make your MVP in whatever language you know best. Don't chase after buzzwords or trends.

I personally use PHP, mySQL and Redis with nginx proxy, cause I know these the best.

Probably nodejs would be a bit faster, but then again, I would probably make 100s of mistakes, not to mention god knows how many bugs, because I'm not 100% familiar with the language.
