There is already many answers to your question and not to be rude, but I think it perfectly shows part of the problem OP is talking about.
Every single answer goes straight to name dropping various specific techs/tools and I don’t doubt it really is the most simple way for each poster. But I think a much better answer, would be a bunch of questions that dig into what kind of problem you are trying to solve, what are the circumstances, skillset, limitations, budget, is it 1 tiny private app for fun or a couple of apps your team or even company depends on etc.
Because it depends on the specifics in _your_ situation and jumping straight to _a_ solution, without understanding _your_ problem, is imho part of the over-complexity-problem in our industry.
