What is your tech stack?

- NodeJS, ReactJS, Postgres, on Linux (via DigitalOcean)

- Booted with Terraform. Opened & traffic-secured with Nginx + Certbot

- Everything running in Docker

Why did you choose it?

- JS: To reduce context switching, and I have a high level of familiarity with it

- Terraform: To automate & speed up server experimentation

- Docker: To make the app easier to transport & access

Do you think your choices had any impact on your success?

(i think this question is not well formulated. "any impact"? anything & everything can have "any impact" because its "any" as in "anything". It's like asking "Does anything impact you?" "Uh, yes, I am alive. Everything I encounter and perceive impacts me.". Maybe formulate a more specific/less vague question)

I am vague with intent so it is a broad question that can be answered in many ways. You are of course free to interpret the question the way you like.

I guess the reasoning behind why I started asking was because I was curious on how one-man shows run their technical aspects and then I just continued to ask since it became quite popular.

I think it's interesting to see how technical choices evolve over time, especially with very small companies since that is what I am most interested in creating myself.

That's fair! Makes sense.

From my vantage, I would ask: What are 1-3 main advantage(s) and/or disadvantage(s) has this choice had (or do you expect it to have) on your project?

"Any impact" ... taken literally, it is a set of potentially infinite items, due to the term "any". (as far as I can understand it).

any. "used to refer to one or some of a thing or number of things, no matter how much or how many.

Yeah sure, that is great feedback. Maybe I'll make the question more specific for next year :D
