Is this seriously considered as being a boring stack nowadays?

Yea I feel like an actual boring stack would be LAMP w/ JQuery & bootstrap on some hosting provider (and the blog would be written on wordpress).

The stack described in the OP is a fairly modern stack...

Thanks, for all of your comments so far on this site. I don't know what you do specifically but what I can glean from them is inspiring to say the least... even the secrets you keep reinforce what I feel is the right way to act.

Just wanted to say it.

was honestly expecting a stack along the line of yours - the one in the article is actually fairly complex and not-boring.

How big is your team? Mind disclosing what the SaaS is? I'd love to learn more.

I run multiple SASSes for clients for myself and clients on far more "boring" stacks than this. One of them still has significant bits of VB.Net!

This post seems like a sea of trendy buzzwords to me. Maybe he thinks it's not trendy because it's not docker/serverless, but to me that stack is mainly a load of fads. React/Redux/Webpack are "standard", damn, 4 years ago you could have replaced that with a plethora of alternatives, as you probably will be able to in 4 years time.
