I'm keen to test out a new deployment stack.
This was prompted after having some trouble with MongoDB Atlas and Render and then finding this guide on the Prisma website. I've been wanting to try Prisma for a while and I think now is a good time to jump on.
I also really want to build my own apps on the server side. The sacrifice you have to make is no React but React often doesn't add much value to super basic MVPs. It often actually confuses things more.
So the stack I'm going with for my next project is:
- Express.js TypeScript server
- Prisma with PostgreSQL database
- Pug as template engine
- All deployed to Koyeb
