Haven't used AWS. Just a VPS, with Laravel and AlpineJS + TailwindCSS with Vite on the frontend. Database is MariaDB, the DB is just on the server.

I'm new to this and would like to build a service like this one day. What exactly did you use Laravel, alpinejs, tailwind, and vite for? Was it necessary to have 4 different resources?

Laravel is propbably for connecting the db with the frontend.

Tailwind is for styling.

Alpinejs is for sprinkling interactivity on the site.

Vite is probably the bundler for all the frontend stuff to minify, vendor etc

On point.
