Svelte + Hasura (+ Keycloak for auth)

Skip the backend unless you absolutely need it. Saves so much complexity, time and money.

I agree with the many who recommend not building a backend. I'm loving Supabase at the moment. In the past I have built things very quickly with Firebase.

For the front end, skip CSS too. It's such a time sink. Use Material UI or Ant Design.

Just be aware that both of those UI libraries only save time if you go with the out of the box experience. If you need to theme them there will be a bit of a learning curve and if you really need to customize then that learning curve goes up dramatically.
