As others have said it's about what a developer personally is familiar with and can execute well and fast with.
For me that's Laravel mixed with raw PHP (a fantastic and high performance language that has proven itself for a long time with some of the most popular sites on the internet), running on a cloud platform that requires literally the lowest amount of devops possible, so maybe Heroku but more likely Google Cloud's AppEngine or CloudRun.
Frontend I personally would use raw JS with JQuery for convenience and compatibility. Probably Twitter Bootstrap for styling etc.
Result of all that is a quick well functioning and reliable site or service.
