  • Its always best to work with the stack you are most familiar with. So for me that would

    1. FeathersJS for backend [1]

    2. Postgres DB

    3. Angular for front end + bootstrap

    4. Postmark for transactional email (for new signup email verification, forgot password, 2-factor login) [2]

    5. Digital Ocean for VPS

    6. Ansible for deploying everything

    7. Namecheap for domain

    8. DNS configuration done on Digital Ocean

    Typescript for both Angular and FeathersJS

    I've done this a few times and all together it would take me about 3 - 5 hours.
