Puh PHP is still super shitty.

Alone debug support on any Jim based language is so much better.

I would still recommend spring boot with normal pages (templated) so no frontend ja stuff. That should be the easiest and best supported stack.

I would also still do cloud native.

Configuring, upgrading, monitoring etc is so much easier with some cheap k8s behind it (managed by argocd).
