It is a very versatile library that provides great development speed. Although, with a bad organization, maintaining projects can be a disaster. With a good architecture, this does not happen.
Angular is obviously powerful and robust. I do not rule it out for any future application, in fact with the arrival of micro frontends and cross-functional teams I think it could be useful. However, if I have to build a stack from scratch again, I'm left with react.

Algolia is an impressive search engine and very easy to configure. I highly recommend it to start building a project because the initial tier is inexpensive and has a good reach. However, I want to make it quite clear that it is a black box, it depends a lot on the business model you have, since if you need something much more specific you will probably have to go through Elasticsearch.

The configuration is ridiculously simple, and brings several useful connectors. Combined with Istio, Prometheus or even with stackdriver/cloudwatch it becomes a super powerful tool. I have direct alerts to slack channels where my team is pending, and in very critical cases I programmed a simple webhook that makes me a phone call and makes me aware of the situation.
