My go-to stack is Node and React.

The fastest is the one you already know. The cheapest is the one you don't use. More scalable requires more complexity. More modern is probably completely useless until it's not modern anymore.

This reminds me of a technical discussion I was involved with regarding picking a language to develop a microservice. We chose Java because the vendor recommended it for easier integration with their service. It turned out they didn't have a Java library, it was just an HTTP API and nothing about the integration was made easier by using Java. The vendor just only worked with Java so that's what they recommend. I was an advocate of C# primarily because that's what we use in our other services.

Anyway, my point is "faster/cheaper/scalable/modern" are marketing terms and you should be wary of anyone selling you a solution based on these.

On that line, I've been using next.js for quick prototypes and it works great.
