NessPay

We chose github + github actions in order to manage the code versioning and the CI on the same software. Furthermore, while it is not that much, I believe that for a large team it is considerably cheaper to have one github subscription instead of a git subscription and a CI/CD software subscription.

NestJS has a very good documention. Furthermore, as a former django-user myself, I believe it is nice to finally get a backend node.js framework very much opiniated like Django. It may be related to what I previously said, but in terms of enterprise-used framework, it seems that Nest.js is the most popular.

We chose DigitalOcean as it is the only hosting provider that also has a Platform-as-a-service software like App Platform. That way, our dev team can focus on creating value for our users instead of spending time managing infrastructure.

We chose to use JavaScript/TypeScript in both frontend and backend in order to reduce the developer "friction" when working full-stack. I also believe it helps when teaching junior developers the ropes of the work.
