Modern web development is so complicated because we fantasize that a nodejs frontend and backend will make everything better. It's like my product is better because it has more integration. I still stick with Ruby on Rails stack. It has a bunch of good practices and patterns built up over the years. On the good side, I set up a static Jekyll site using Github Pages. It comes with SSL from letsencrypt. I got to run my website for free without much setup. I assume I don't have to worry about scaling it either. No server, no nginx, no SSL config. It's amazing!
