My typical toolbelt includes Rails and Node for the backend. For sites with tighter deadlines, lower performance restrictions, or less interactive frontends, I usually reach for a vanilla Rails backend w/ Postgres + Heroku. For more involved web apps, Node is usually my choice and nowadays I might also consider a GraphQL server powered by Apollo Server.
