hey, solo dev here looking for some honest advice on scaling. i'm building a tutoring marketplace , i did implement the :auth, booking, messaging, calendar sync are done. still didn't start on stripe connect payments, a few features, and an admin panel. i don't want to rush and implement it, instead i want to see the full picture and what i can change now before things get out of hand. current stack: next.js + supabase on vercel. works great for now. i don't have a lot of experience scaling web apps, so i've been trying to think ahead. specifically i'm considering: \- adding rabbitmq for async job processing \- building a separate nestjs backend on aws ec2, cloudflare R2 for file storage \- keep supabase for database and auth,some realtime features. \- slowly migrating away from next.js server actions over time. \- also i got cron jobs! for reminders like before 24h!(using github actions for now!) for those who've been through something similar, what's worth setting up...
