Interesting that GraphQL did not come up. For me, the fastest and most fun is: Postgres + Postgraphile (generates a GraphQL server based on your PG schema), with Vue/Nuxt on the Frontend. Use Dokku on a DigitalOcean droplet for the backend, and Netlify for the frontend. I am not a professional developer, though. I found the combo above really fun, simple, and easy to work with.
