Elixir / Phoenix, Heroku with Postgres addon.

Fronted mostly static with Stimulus + Hotwire for a few dynamic parts.

Images via S3 + Imgix.

Metabase (also on Heroku) for analytics.

Trying to keep it as simple as possible. Not quite successful yet, but pleased with the tech stack so far.

How come you are using Hotwire instead of Liveview?

Main reason is I think it's conceptually simpler. In particular, Liveview is stateful and Hotwire is stateless.

I think there are some potential performance benefits of liveview (less sent over the wire and less work done server side) however I prefer to optimise for simplicity and fewer bugs.

Edit. Caveat this with the fact that I haven't used Livewire in anger.
