What @dmfay
said; if you containerize the application the process running inside the container is of minimal impact; outside of resource requirements per container (IE cost to run each instance). However, scaling becomes much easier.
The current industry direction is options like Amazon ECS or Google GCE. When configured correctly the running process can finally not be the bottle neck anymore.
AS for CI/CD: you will want a task runner (TravisCI/Jenkins/CodeShip) and setup security scanning, performance checking, linting, test runners, and any other step you come across later. The name of the game here is automation with the goal of quality enforcement.
As for Database optimization, that really depends on the needs of the application, SQL, NoSQL, Key/Value store, Document store? How about media/binary storage? Does it have to be ACID compliant? Is latency or accuracy more important? The database question would need more information to really sort it out.
That all being said, I am available, and the dev.to community is here, to help out along the way. No matter what, it sounds like you have an interesting project ahead.

Thanks for this, looks like I'll start with containerization
