Advice for web application technologies / architecture

I decided to start to learn web programming and as a first serious project I want to build a stocks/cryptography portfolio, where user sign in and add their holdings of specific stocks/coins. Users can see the current evaluation of their portfolio, or inspect various types of charts. I would like to host my app in the cloud, so that everyone on the internet can access it. Such sites(with lots of other features) are coinmarketcap.com or coingecko.com .

I have no idea what technologies to use, I know there are plenty of options, so that makes it very difficult for me to make a choice. I would like to use modern but popular technologies, which ideally are relatively easy to learn. I googled for an hour or so, and these technologies were mentioned:

- Google Cloud Platform: Google Cloud Run, Firebase (+ Firebase Realtime Database,  Firebase Realtime 
  Database, Firebase authentication)
- All kind of products from AWS
- Docker, Kubernetes
- Angular, React
- NodeJS, Express
- Python(for backend)

I'd prefer Google Cloud products over their AWS alternatives. I have some experience with Angular, Docker, Kubernetes, NodeJS + Express, and Python. I have no experience with GCP or AWS, but I think I'd enjoy learning them. 
So, what technologies (from the ones above, or others), would you recommend for my basic project ? The project basically needs cloud hosting, user authentication and database storage.

Thanks for your time :)

What I have tried:

Browsing the net for advice, but found lots of different technologies recommended.

Like asking what car to buy when you haven't passed your driver's exam. The parts don't get slapped together in just any order (or overnight). Put a few years aside if you don't have another solution you can copy from.

I don't plant to do this project overnight. I'm ok if it takes a year or more. I'm just not sure what technologies I should start to learn.

This is somewhat off-topic for this forum, the answers by nature cannot be "quick" nor objective. This is not a forum for expressing opinions but for solving specific problems.

You might be better off putting this into one of the discussion forums e.g. Design and Architecture Discussion Boards[^]

You should also consider looking at the list of questions to the right of this page under the "Related Questions" title

I wasn't aware of the Design and Architecture section. It seems to me there is no way to move the topic there, so I'm gonna create a new one. Hopefully it's not a problem. I'll also take a look at the related topic, thank you.

Yeah - we don't have the "move" thing here, so shouldn't be a problem. Good luck!
