The same as 4 years ago.
Server side rendered templates with Rails or Flask using Postgres + Redis + background worker of choice.
I'm starting to build some apps with Phoenix now, but it's not because I feel the above 2 are poor choices. I just like learning new things, especially when I see big wins of potentially using it. It's another tool in my tool belt, not an all-in replacement of the previous thing.
- wastedhours 9y ago100% agree - unless you're doing anything especially novel, or know you're getting 10's of millions of connections from day 1, with the ecosystem around it, I wouldn't hesitate choosing Rails + Postgres + Redis + Sidekiq.
- ericb 9y agoEven then. Are you going to be bigger than Shopify on day one?
- pmontra 9y ago99% agree. I just don't feel like using Sidekiq or Celery anymore for short lived jobs when I can do it without any additional infrastructure using Elixir and Phoenix (same for websockets.) However anything else is easier with those older languages including deployment, especially for Rails (capistrano or mina.)
