Looks pretty good. Two ideas:

  1. I would try to eliminate AWS, because one platform provider should be enough.
  2. I would try to avoid Google Analytics due to privacy issues. Checkout Plausible instead.

I recently posted about our tech stack, too.

I found that AWS, and particularly SES, it's simple and cheap to send some transactional emails. I tried SendinBlue and other similar, but I think that SES it's better for this. Maybe in the future I can move all the server and storage from DO to AWS. It's not a bad idea.

About Plausible, I like it, but right now I don't want to add another paid service, possibly in the future.

Have you tried Mailgun as an alternative ? It's cheap and works well with Laravel.

No, not yet. I'm happy with SES right now.

It makes sense to me.

Completely understood. Maybe you could think about not tracking the users at all.
