I've been really happy with express (Node). It has scaled really well for my company.

Currently processing almost 200 million requests a month on a cheap $25/mo heroku dyno.

This is really cool! Love seeing how people are using no code tools.

I do the same. Dozens of commits to get GH Actions working correctly.

In the beginning my startup only had 2 people. A designer (my friend) and me (a developer).

For our frontend we used Webflow. My friend was able to create the entire marketting site, and all the app UI's without needing help from me. Webflow is an awesome tool for that sort of thing.

For the backend, I built a simple Node/Express API and hosted via Heroku.

To this day, everything is still running fine and the API is processing roughly 200 million requests a month. The total cost to host that on heroku is $50/mo.

You can definitely have a simple stack but have it be highly scaleable!

Wow! This project is awesome.

Some folks have already mentioned this, but typically if a website has user login/signup, cookies are used to "identify" the user once logged in.

This enables the websites backend to know who is making the request for authentication/authorization purposes.

Excellent article!

I've personally been working with billing systems for 2+ years and have felt all those pains.

The 4 hour work week is such an awesome book.

Wow this is great!

Great read, thanks for sharing.

The company I work for is currently transitioning from Vue to React and so far it's been a positive experience.

Wow Diahook looks great!

My company is in the process of updating our webhooks, so we will be sure to check it out.

This was a great read – thanks for sharing!

I've always been a huge fan of how Stripe handles their webhooks. They are pretty much doing everything listed in your article.
