So instead I used a third party authentication service, store some data in JSON files, and also threw up a lamda gateway to store some more data in Google Sheets? It's not relevant to the bug hunt, but I'm genuinely intrigued. Is this approach considered easier to work with than using a regular ol' DB?

My first thought as well. This is the most complicated stack I’ve seen for something so simple. Just convinced me more to avoid using JavaScript as a backend

Honest question: how is that JS's fault?
