My principle for https://phish.report (a tool for semi-automating the reporting of phishing sites) is: do as much statically or server side rendered as possible.

Deployment: Docker Compose. It's great to just set a DOCKER_HOST environment variable and I can deploy to any server with Docker installed.

Backend: a Go service. Could be any language really but that's what I know. Just takes requests, does some business logic and returns HTML templates.

Frontend: I'm not a frontend dev so I try to avoid it as much as possible. For UI, I use Bulma (a pretty comprehensive bunch of CSS components), with a tiny sprinkling of vanilla JS for small client-side animations (e.g. burger menu toggles). For any user action that hits the backend, I use https://htmx.org/ and just return a small HTML snippet as the API response. No point using client-side JS for that (no latency gains and makes the tech stack less homogenous).

Love this - a terrific cheat code!
