  • sst

    💥 SST makes it easy to build full-stack serverless apps.

    If you have to do frontend, I would just go with NextJS. It can serve as an API as well. I just came across this today https://sst.dev/ and I'm looking to use that on a side project. It basically runs NextJS or other popular frontend frameworks on AWS using serverless. That way you don't have to worry as much about concurrency.

  • wasp

    The fastest way to develop full-stack web apps with React & Node.js.

    you should try out https://wasp-lang.dev which is basically Ruby-On-Rails for the React-Express-Postgres (PERN) Stack
