I have a new project that needs a landing page, a signup flow, and a dashboard section displaying some data from a database.<p>I highly prefer simple, blazing fast websites like Hacker News and Craigslist that load near instantly.<p>I’ve got a little experience with Rails, React, Java/Kotlin (Android), and node/express.<p>Is there a particular tech stack that would be suitable for building something where load speed is a priority? I am more than happy to learn a new stack for this project. Thank you!
Cloudflare edge backends are supposedly really fast. Stuff like kv, durable objects, hono.js mixed with your frontend framework of choice.<p>But I feel like for 10 or so pages it won't really matter what you choose.As long as your queries are good you should be fine.<p>Edited to add links:<p><a href="https://hono.dev/" rel="nofollow">https://hono.dev/</a><p><a href="https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-workers-serverless-week/" rel="nofollow">https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-workers-serverless-we...</a>
I still like HTML+PHP, easy to deploy, no build process, can share code across pages, no packages to maintain or keep updated, no dependencies to install, no server-crashes as each request is independent etc.
