    Its always best to work with the stack you are most familiar with. So for me that would 1. FeathersJS for backend [1] 2. Postgres DB 3. Angular for front end + bootstrap 4. Postmark for transactional email (for new signup email verification, forgot password, 2-factor login) [2] 5. Digital Ocean for VPS 6. Ansible for deploying everything 7. Namecheap for domain 8. DNS configuration done on Digital Ocean Typescript for both Angular and FeathersJS I've done this a few times and all together it would take me about 3 - 5 hours. [1] https://feathersjs.com/.

  3. Super easy Rails servers. Configure any server to run Ruby on Rails servers in minutes and without hassle.
    The combination of https://jumpstartrails.com/ and https://hatchbox.io/ will get you there in under an hour.
