C on FreeBSD on EC2. Yes, the dynamic parts of the Tarsnap website are written in C.

Interesting. What are the main advantages for you to use FreeBSD over Linux?

Backend: Java (phasing out), Go (phasing in), Postgres, Redis, all on Ubuntu EC2's. Frontend: JS (TypeScript/ES6), React, ReactNative, SASS, all Webpack'ed (except RN). I think it's a fairly light stack but am happy with it. I would use this as the starting point for pretty much every project.

I love Go, but always feel it is not very productive for web app backends. What about you ? Do you use an ORM w/ Go?

In my opinion, it's great for web app backends as well. The net/http library suffices.

Just that you might need a library for routing like https://github.com/julienschmidt/httprouter

I run a development shop in Australia and work with a lot of startups to build their MVP. This puts us in a position to recommend our preferred stack: - Django backend - React frontend - Native mobile iOS/Android OR Xamarin (depends on project) - PostgreSQL - AWS (Elastic Beanstalk) OR Heroku - S3

I am an experienced Django developer, but just starting with React. Can you point towards any source which suggests good project setup and structure?

Yes - that part of the server code is great in Go. I use go-chi.
