How do you plan to deploy your backend? Are there tools to do it? Is it just rsyncing a cabal sandbox to another machine? What about compiling and stuff? (I've barely made my way through LYHGG.)
So we started with a git subtree merge of all the dependent projects and then a script to build a docker container, with physical infrastructure managed by ansible. It now looks more like we're going to use NixOs and NixOps - which are awesome!
I used to just scp the binary up to the servers. They don't need any haskell stuff installed or anything like that. Recently I made it so they grab the latest binary off of S3 on bootup and when I run an update script. So now I just upload the binary to S3 instead.

You can deploy Snap apps to Heroku pretty easily.
