Ask HN: Best tech stack for solo dev'd app?

Context: I've been using a lot of GCP services (App Engine, Firebase Auth, Cloud Firestore, etc..) for a website I'm working on, but lately I've been seriously considering the switch back to bog standard Linux (cron, bash, POSIX, systemd) instead of building upon a proprietary platform. A lot of things are unnecessarily complex with my current setup. e.g., for batch jobs, I have a webserver which is pinged by a managed service, whereas a small binary + cron job could be easier to manage. Using a NoSQL database may be cheap with such tiny usage, but I'm missing the power of SQL, namely, integration with everything under the sun.
