I run https://quailhq.com -- point-of-sale software for antique stores.

---

Data: Postgres

APIs: Java + Dropwizard

Frontend: Typescript, transitioning from Angular (1.x) to React

Hosting is on a cluster of cheap Linodes, and transactional email is handled by Postmark. Shout out to both of those services, which have been rock-solid compared to others I've tried. I absolutely think the choice of tech has helped Quail succeed -- it's boring software built with boring technology, which leaves me free to focus on the more interesting parts of the business.

I'm also working on a Java + Dropwizard project. MongoDB is the option I went with as a DB, and SendGrid for transactional emails.

Did you evaluate Digital Ocean as an option?
