stack suggestions
hey guys
I've mostly worked on frontend (next.js) so far, trying to buid a full stack project on the side and want suggestions for the backend stack.
I've worked a little bit with mongo / express but I'm open to other langs as well to push myself and learn if the tradeoff is more scalable/ performant / cheaper or if there's a middle ground between the mentioned and a good dx, open to it too.
considering to use convex.dev right now with auth.js for auth. convex seems like a great solution but almost too good to be true as its open source (no vendor lockin) but im assuming there'll be too many headaches self hosting it.. I want to sustain with it for free for at least a year from launch to get people in, if I can self host it, it'd be great to use google cloud / aws credits
