Need Some Advice on Backend & Tech Stack for my app/Website. An Online Learning App with Video Chat, Chats, A Recommendation tool, Videos & Courses, etc. What should the backend look like - For Cloud, For Storing My Videos, For Database, For Video Chats & Chats? I want it to be inexpensive and highly scalable too. Any recommendations would be really appreciated. Thanks

I would advocate for Node. It seems you are trying to fill your stack with a front end, a back end, and a database, but don't know your database. based on that, I would advocate for the MERN stack. based on the MEAN stack: Mongo, Express, React, and Node. Frankly, it's about choice, and since you are going to use performance heavy and cloud heavy things like video chat, I'd advocate for Node over Express.

I am considering choosing Cloud Firestore Database As Primary Database for my app that needs huge storage. I'm still a bit confused about my choice because it's not used by big companies as a database and it's not too scalable. But for the free tier and pay as you go, it seems like a good budget deal. Please recommend some other databases required for my situation: Low Cost, Highly Scalable, Easy To Manage, Good Storage.

I would recommend Stripe because it has a feature called Billing which is built for Premium plans. While adyen has more Payment Options, Stripe has lesser charging rates per transaction. But this also depends if your product is available worldwide or to specific nations. If you want to go worldwide, I would recommend Adyen as It is scalable. If you want to go for some specific nations Stripe will be better and easier to integrate but Stripe will also be great if you are worldwide.
