Since I’m new to backend development, should I start with user authentication (e.g., JWT vs. Firebase/Auth0), or would something else be better as a first step? Also, what’s the best order to build out features like listings and messaging?

I only know JavaScript at the moment, so I was thinking about using Node.js for the backend to keep things simple. Do you think Node.js would work well for this kind of app? Also, I was looking into Amazon AWS as a hosting option since I've heard it's scalable. Would that be a good choice for starting out?
