I have done quite a lot of prototypes and while the initial ones were throw away code, I quickly realized that I can re-use a lot of code in future prototypes. Especially code that involves building user management and database access. Also realized it is frustrating to write repeating code. So I quickly started making code slightly more readable and reusable.

It's not the holy grail of software development but it ain't shitty code either. Also I tend to use only one web framework - FastAPI, one database - mostly Redis or MySQL and one front end React. Saves a ton of time as I can reuse a most parts of the code.

I do think there is a lot of merit in using something like GAE. Saves a boat load of time but comes at a cost and I am willing to bear the cost to save time.
