I followed a similar path, turning an open source project I had started into a SaaS several years ago (it has since been acquired).

Two biggest things I learned: use whatever technology you’re most comfortable with and keep everything dead simple.

Your customers don’t care what language or framework you’re using. They will care when you can’t release features quickly enough because you’re stuck figuring out your own infrastructure.

I’ve written on HN previously[1] about some other things I’ve learned as well.

Thank you for the advice. Your write up was valuable to me. I also want to have a lean approach to the problem, I am just overwhelmed with the whole architecture which is needed around something which should be simple (as a pet project).
