So, where do you host? What data store do you use?

I host data on firebase db use firebase cloud functions for "serverless" compute. I just do android development and never mess with AWS/k8s/whatever.

Firebase is my favorite at the moment. I like that it combines functions & db. And has a simple DB viewer.

Have anyone used both https://redwoodjs.com and Nextjs and share their experience?

Redwood doesn't hide their tutorial behind an account like Nextjs does, they're more user friendly. And it was impressive how smooth it went considering the underlying complexity of the tech stack.

The Next tutorial is now available without log-in, so the statement above isn't true anymore. Thanks Vercel!

Ruby on Rails is still the new Ruby on Rails. JS solutions still need another five years to catch up, unfortunately.

What do you feel like JS solutions are still missing?

Ruby on Rails is opinionated. JavaScript is the exact opposite.

The data access layer in JS leaves a lot to be desired (especially compared to Rails)

React almost felt like a winner for single page apps, but there was never a great "flux" pattern to use, and now they've completely ruined that ecosystem with Hooks.

Also SPA's have become so big and bloated it's time to go back to something that you can build progressive web apps with like jQuery.
