Your point about the technical debt is fully appreciated!
I am definitely aware of the challenges that maintaining full website like this can be, and totally not thinking about reinventing CC processing! With my initial research, an AWS based approach is what I had in mind, with most of the heavy lifting by AWS and Stripe for payments. I still don't know how I can stitch up everything with AWS, but thankfully I've found the developer docs to be fairly intuitive so far.

Appreciate all the additional info too, cheers!
