How to choose solutions for secure messaging front-end and HIPAA compliant database?

I am interesting a setting up a small business website, the front-end of which will be a customer portal (secure messaging center) with perhaps the ability to upload images. E-commerce capability will be needed, using Paypal and CC (US only). The back-end will be a database and the whole system will need to be HIPAA compliant.

I was wondering what platform should this be built on? Are there off-the shelf modules/libraries for secure messaging (I expect there are for e-commerce) and the database? I have experience programming Java but only on Android, as well as Swift on iOS -- wrote a couple of apps -- including the built-in SQLite features.

If I decide to contract this out, as it's most likely, I would like to have a sense of what type of programming or packages are needed. Would PHP/MySQL fit the bill? Can you point me in the right direction so I can educate myself?

If you are looking for a HIPAA compliant storage option in Microsoft Azure, you should probably look into Azure Cosmos DB.

It provides SDKs for different programming languages, easy to query and manage. As it is widely used for SaaS based applications, it has almost all type of security compliance incorporated.
