So many good answers, and interesting to read the overall technology landscape. The technology debates can be endless, though. I think it's good to consider a few non-technical aspects as well for selecting your stack - 1. Is this stack popular among recent similar successful products? 2. What technology will make it easier to find relevant talent? 3. Does your stack allow for rapidly changing code along with a rapidly changing team? This is important, especially in the early stages of development. 4. Are you trying to do things the Google way? Facebook might never exist had they started with C++ instead of PHP. 5. Do you want to be on the cutting edge for the sake of being on the cutting edge? I elaborated on this a bit in my blog here if interested - https://sleeksky.com/blog/technology-stack https://sleeksky.com/blog/technology-stack
