While this doesnt fully cover your question in depth, my recommendation for an easy environment would be to use the Digital Ocean app platform for your frontend and backend. Use two seperate repositories to get automatic CI/CD. https://www.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/

And then their managed Mongoose instance.

There is a bit more knowledge that goes into properly operating a complex site like that. But this will get you started with a self-maintaining environment, that does not allow for VPS configurations errors, comes at a cheap price and automates most of the basic DevSecOps tasks for you.

Be sure to put secrets in the app environment and not in commited files.

Alternatively, you could use their managed Kubernetes.
