I've put the following in categories in ranked order for what's most familiar, safe, and known to me down to what I'd like to use and learn and isn't "just hype" to me.

Front-end Web:

  1. JS, jQuery, & Sass
  2. TS, React
  3. Svelte

App:

  1. native
  2. React Native

Backend Service (My current "shop" is very Java-heavy):

  1. Java+Spring
  2. Scala+Play
  3. Go

Event-handling:

  1. Python
  2. Go

DB:

  1. DynamoDB
  2. RDS (only if I have to)

So putting it all together, my most likely, realistic stack I'd build today would be:

  • Front end: React & React Native
  • Service: Java & Scala (for tight deadline) or Go (if I could learn on the job)
  • DB: DynamoDB

As far as other tools, theres are "givens" for me: git, JetBrains IDEs, VS Code, AWS (Fargate, S3, SNS, SQS, Athena, Data Lake, etc.)
