For those with a lot of web programming experience, I’m also curious what is the easiest stack in which to achieve good security. I’m also interested in hearing about hosting providers - I would particularly want to support smaller companies (rather than big cloud providers) but am not sure how they do with security, DDoS protection, and other such arcane matters.
- commonalitydev 6y agoI’ve posted our full stack above, but we have had excellent results and zero problems with security (that weren’t our own fault) with .NET Core and Postgres — both are very mature, time-tested, and secure by design. For hosting, Linode is an independent cloud provider that has secure and reliable service. I’ve heard good things about Digital Ocean, too. You can use Cloudflare or another specialty company for an extra layer of protection against DDoS attacks and such. One important note about security and technology, in general: It is at least as important, if not more so, to configure and use the technology properly as it is to choose any particular one. There is no software or service whose security can’t be rendered completely ineffective by lack of care or expertise.
