For a new project, you will need to use various software, ranging from node, erlang, php, mysql, mongodb, redis, postgresql and ending with streaming servers.
It is very important at the initial stage to choose the system on which various required software will be installed and run without problems, and also that the system is reliable, like CentOS, both in terms of operation and in terms of security.
What would you recommend based on experience?

the choice is actually from ubuntu and centos, which one is closer to you and put it, the difference is not great.

You can try Scientificlinux.
Quite stable and lightweight system.
And besides, all the solutions that are under CentOS are also relevant for her.

Generally the question is put a little incorrectly IMHO. You need to choose the OS that your administrator can support at the proper level of security. In my opinion, the security of the OS directly depends on the breadth and depth of its knowledge in this subject.
