Thanks for your feedback!
The plan is to implement additional stacks you can deploy with Modelier. Node/Mongo is our first one, but we're aiming to support PHP, Go, C#/.NET, Python/Django and more, along with support for SQL and other database solutions. Ideally, you'll be able to select which target stack you'd like to use for deployment based on your project needs. External API integrations are part of our future plans, and stack support will be a big piece of that.

You’ll have to explain how you can make it easier than spinning up a PHP + MySql or Wordpress instance on Digital Ocean for $10/mo. Or a ready to go Rails or node.js image. Maybe you’re targeting a different market.
I know no one wants to hear it, especially on Hacker News, but PHP + MySQL rule in the small business/agency space, and for good reason: easy to deploy, easy to find add-ons and libraries, easy to manage, well-understood, low risk, lots of people who understand the tools.
