Good afternoon.
I read, I read, and I just can’t understand what to write the API for the application on.
Planned:
1. Web application (Angular\React)
2. Mobile applications (so far in the future)
What do you want from the server:
1. Availability of firewood for connecting to SQL, support for more than 3 servers (MSSQL, MySQL, Oracle ...) is desirable.
2. The ability to pack in an installer and give it to the client for hosting (Usually on Windows).
3. Well, the usual placement at the host without much hemorrhoids.
The functionality does not imply any highly loaded calculations, except for working with large data samples (updating, generating reports).
Have experience with Node (expressJS) PHP (mostly pure).
PHP - I feel it is not suitable, but it's scary to wrap Node in a boxed product and give it to the client in the form of a system that works 24/7
What is all the same to write on?

""""Wow, how everything is wrapped up ....... =)""""
The API will probably be on the server side, but will the application itself be on the clients?
You would at least tell a little about the scheme for implementing the project, otherwise the discussion could go the wrong way!

I would recommend writing in ruby on rails, but then you will have to take VDS for the server. If it is more important to deploy on any virtual server, then PHP. Regarding the fact that it doesn’t fit well - here the question of directness of hands is rather worth it, and you can write good code in php.

NodeJS, the express framework should be enough for your purposes, in which case it is easily scaled and extended with all sorts of sockets and other goodies.
Especially if you have experience working with him.

MSSQL, MySQL, Oracle, postgree, sqlite
2. Possibility to pack into an installer and give it to the client for hosting (Usually on Windows).
Any bulder setups, wix toolset, for example, is just a copy of folder
3. Well, the usual placement at the host without much hemorrhoids.
Any wps from the list of supported OS
