Astro SSR web app, Tailwind, and Drizzle ORM. Use Postgres. Both hosted on a single Hetzner instance for about $6/month. I've tried Django, C#/Blazor, React/Go+Gin, Next.js, none came close.

Never heard of Astro but looks nice. When you say none came close, in terms of what? Performance? Simplicity? Value? Dev experience? All the above?

Performance and dev experience yes. Simplicity-wise I guess one could argue that Django takes the crown as long as you're okay with the compromises you have to make. I not sure what you mean by value, if it's cost of hosting the service then I'd say yes again because it requires less resources than all the other alternatives.
