That’s an amazingly useful thread. My 2 cents regarding the tech stack :
1. Don’t use a build system. Use scripting language that comes preinstalled on Debian / Ubuntu. Peel 5 is still my weapon of choice for robust small web apps. Look at python too.
2. Avoid JS / Ajax. I can bet that security restrictions will break it in the future, however good old form POST works still pretty good.
3. Use own hardware. Raspberry PI with HDD or some banana PI works quite allright. Also provisioning is easy by keeping a copy of your image.
4. Don’t use managed services. Use database on the very same machine that you host the app itself. Backup is an extra step you can achieve via those, but don’t use External service, since it will most probably break.
