Django, considering switching to Flask for more flexibility. The server is running nginx on FreeBSD.

One app is a multi-user game that 60K+ users play regularly Other is a productivity app available on multiple platforms
C# on Azure Functions for backend. Azure managed SQL Server for storage. Azure managed Redis for caching. Azure Application Insights for monitoring. Forest Admin front end. Quite a pleasant experience overall for what I need.
It's so bizarre (but somewhat expected) to see only two people in this thread mention any Microsoft technologies at all.
I run several SaaS apps on a single big OVH server. It handles 6 million non-cached requests per day. The backend stack is pretty basic: Django/Python, MySQL, redis (pub/sub) for websockets. But the secret sauce is OpenResty. I use Lua scripts to do more sophisticated page caching (because the builtin nginx caching is so primitive), DDoS protection, handling websockets, offloading long running requests, and routing b…
curios to know more on this - what you could do better using Lua logic?

For example I was photographing a horse show last weekend, and I have around 3000 pictures and 30 participants.
I used to do that "by hand" with a SaaS, it would take me a full day. I did talk with them to get access to their existing API, but they kept saying they didn't have an API... Stupid.
