We also have a core suite of internal services that are mostly built using Java + Spring Boot.
Rails (I'm Ruby dev). I've been playing with Vue lately and like it a lot. You can have all component's code in one place -> html+js+css, so it's super fast and easy to keep adding code. Also, I like React, but somehow whenever I use it I feel I am writing a lot of code for simple stuff. I am finishing my first product in Elixir.

If you pick Django/Python, PHP/Laravel, Rails, Node, Go, Java, whatever... you end up the same place. Keep it simple, since it will change if your business experiences growth anyways. Pick what you know, or what you want to hire for. How do you create value for your customers and offer them som…
Also, competitive research and paper prototyping before coding.
Having built a bunch of these helps me ask the right questions and postpone the right features to make it possible to get to an mvp really fast.
