  Build modern full-stack applications on AWS

  

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.
