Personally, I tend to go with Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL run on Heroku. I recognise it has its limitations — Heroku’s pricing isn’t favourable for large apps, for example — but, combined with Hotwire [1] (which now comes out of the box, IIRC), it’s a powerful solution for most LOB apps.

- bn-usd-mistake 5y agoI'm trying Hotwire for a personal project and have really been enjoying it so far, but it is very different from what I'm used to (more SPA-y frameworks like React + JSON API). My main fear is that I'm tying myself too much to Rails-specific libraries and that upgrades and migrations will be harder.
- connordoner 5y agoI have to admit that I worried about this for a while. I’m not sure on your risk tolerance, but I found solace in that Rails was developed by 37signals for Basecamp back in 2004, and they’ve been maintaining it ever since.
- xu3u32 5y agoDo you use Heroku's managed PostgreSQL service?
