I'd like to throw in ArangoDB (multi-model NoSQL database) which I switched to after RethinkDB was shut down. https://www.arangodb.com/

Does it have change feeds?

I'm using RethinkDB right now, but I would probably switch back to Postgres if I had to use something that didn't have change feeds.

It's not perfect, but I've landed on Node + Express for the backend and React for the frontend with both of them being written in TypeScript. It's incredibly nice to share the typings between my frontend and backend. I've also been pleasantly surprised by Nancy [1] on Mono, though, and almost always choose that when I need to use C#.

Laravel, Nginx, PHP 7.0 and Postgres/MySQL.

I used Laravel for some projects that deal a few users. Where I work, we are reviewing different stacks for a project that will deal with a bigger quantity of users and I would really like to use Laravel, does Laravel have some performance issues or similar stuff when dealing with lot of users?

I've never had performance issues with Laravel, but if performance is very important for you, Laravel has a microframework called Lumen:

Great stack. I prefer to rock NGINX instead of Apache these days, which they call "LEMP".

Isn't nginx for static pages mostly, and it proxies load-balance/dynamic-content to other servers behind, will LEMP make development less straightforward comparing to LAMP? I'm actually using lighttpd these days due to its light-weight, and dynamic/static page support all-in-one.

Correct, you can't run PHP inside the NGINX process like Apache can with mod_php. You have to run a PHP service listening for Fast CGI connections and configure NGINX to proxy via FastCGI to that service. The `php-fpm` package on Linux makes this easy to do.

I'm excited about the future of .net core on linux but I'm waiting to hear some success stories. Have you built something significant with it you can point to? This is not snark - I'd really love to hear about it.

I've spent at least the last 10 years (including Uni days) writing mostly Java or .NET in some form or other. I don't mind Java, I generally like using Java 8, but I would happily be writing C# instead if I could run it as easy in as many places. The syntactic sugar, Linq, the latest MVC framework, etc- are generally much faster to get moving in and don't require the configuration hell you can run into w/ Java. Howev…

What's hard about building and deploying .net applications? Currently use octopus, which probably one of the best deployment experiences.

.Net core runs on linux, so you don't even need a windows server.
