Swift.
Making libraries and apps for Apple stuff. Mostly open-source, but I have some closed-source stuff on the stove, as well.
It seems to make me a bit of an outlier, but I enjoy the work.
Success? More will be revealed...

#53I run Pinboard. I have my own hardware running Ubuntu. The site itself runs PHP+MySQL, with perl scripts for backend tasks. I make heavy use of Twitter to talk about unrelated topics, and eventually people take pity and sign up for the site, using either Stripe or PayPal.
PAAS (Pity As A Service) is a very amenable business model. I think I'd find it a natural fit if I could be arsed to actually build something.

#54I'm building https://airloom.xyz at the moment, its an heirloom tracker. This is for university, tech stack was all determined by me but this is a group project, that being said I think it qualifies to be on here since it is most likely much smaller of a project given it's for one university subject.
Elastic Beanstalk with ELB and EC2 autoscaling running Node.js backend
React for SPA
Cognito for user management/auth
Github for source control
CodePipeline for CI and deployments
Cloudfront with lambda@edge for SPA
Cloudinary for media hosting
RDS for database
LogRocket for frontend error capturing
Sentry for backend error capturing
Lambda to write a new user to RDS after confirmation trigger from cognito.

#55For https://swissdevjobs.ch/ I go with a super simple stack:
Backend: NodeJs, Express, MongoDB Frontend: React, React-Router, Leaflet (for maps) Infrastructure: AWS, S3
Bonus point: no single test written (the project is up and running for over a year)

#56I run a webapp that allows you to mock your API. With a lot of different bloatware webpages/apps/frameworks, when making https://mockadillo.com I tried to keep it light.
Go server rendered pages + vanilla Javascript, with Postgres + Redis. Simple cicd using github + gocd and docker swarm. The simple setup and no framework allows for minimal page load times, and no browser impact.

#57I run Trunk[1] which helps e-commerce businesses that sell in multiple places sync their inventory in real-time. It’s a very infrastructure and backend-heavy app that’s currently running across 7-10 Google Cloud instances (mostly preemptible) that can scale up/down depending on load (e.g. a large customer signs up, Black Friday)
In development, all services can be brought up using Docker Compose within a monorepo.
Frontend: Ember.js Backend: Ruby on Rails, nginx, Postgres, Redis, Sidekiq, VueJS (marketing site) Metrics: Prometheus, Grafana, Papertrail Infrastructure: Ubuntu, Docker Swarm CI/CD: Google Cloud Build
I also run a few ad-hoc scripts in Google Cloud Run that perform very specific duties like triggering CI/CD builds or sending Slack notifications.
Google Cloud Platform is great!

#58Django, Python 3, Django REST Framework, PostgreSQL, ElasticSearch, uWSGI, nginx, Celery, RabbitMQ, Ubuntu, Ansible, Sentry.io, Gitlab, Hetzner, Cloudflare, Create React App. Effects on success: I already knew this stack (no time lost learning new tech), can run with a very tight budget (suitable for starting a business on the side). And, obviously, this is a great stack that will scale far into the future if needed.
Mine is almost exactly the same (though don't always need ES/Celery/Rabbit).
I've been working on building out a productized offering of a starter kit for this stack: https://www.saaspegasus.com

#59I create and sell business software for writing invoices and managing customers. It is also available for rent and I use the following stack for my own cloud: Debian, KVM, Apache, MySQL (with Percona for clustering), GlusterFS, rSync, HAProxy, PHP, jQuery I actually own 3 servers :) I know, it's super boring, but this stack has only failed me once in about five years. Yes, in my opinion this stack has helped me a lot…
Can you share me the details of your service? I need simplest solution for Customer registering order, Verifying order against stock availability to create invoce and delivering it. An affiliate/reference management will be plus.
You can take a look: https://www.open3a.de
The software is mostly in German, so I'm not sure if it's a fit ;)
Re: Ask HN: Companies of one, what is your tech stack?
#60I am building an interactive voice broadcasting solution as a SaaS at http://dandydialer.com . Back-end API is built on Clojure, Datomic and freeswitch. I am using Clojurescript, Reagent, Reframe and Re-com for the front-end. Deployment and system orchestration is built on LXD and Ansible.
Pardon the website, as there isn't much to see there. We are still in alpha stage. Yes, Clojure ecosystem has been a tremendous help in engineering the system. As a former python dev, I think Clojure made a whole lot of mandatory moving parts unnecessary - like celery and redis for designing such a system. Also, ditching Javascript+react ecosystem with better wrappers has been an absolute blast so far.
