Shot in the dark
Probably API-platform. The website is down at the moment, but: https://github.com/api-platform/api-platform It's Symfony based (and plays nice in that ecosystem), also allows you to describe entities via Schema org vocab, has a client generator, and comes with docker-compose and helm charts. I've used it extensively to build various headless services. It's really easy to expose annotated Doctrine entities.

API Platform up and running in 5 minutes 🚀
API Platform is a framework for API-first projects, built on top of Symfony components. Let's see how to create a minimal and lightweight starter project in just 5 minutes!
- API Platform (the PHP framework for creating REST and GraphQL APIs) has a brand new website!

Is that the way to create an API? 😣 yes, I hate PHP
Just use a nice framework like Symfony and for an API there is a nice thing called API Platform

Questions about getting started with PHP
On the Symfony side, a headless API can be built really quickly with https://api-platform.com/. You describe your domain entities with Schema.org vocabulary, can use a client generator to hammer out a UI in Next, Nuxt, Quasar, or whatever as a starter, it comes with an admin backend, and a Helm chart to deploy on Kubernetes. Works great for APIs when paired with, say Nuxt SSGs/PWAs if you want more of a JAMstack approach.

What is the best way to write a dedicated server?
It could be implemented with STOMP, or Mercure (goes well with API-Platform, written in PHP/Symfony), you could write your own with the help of nchan and scale it via Redis. If it's a web service, the best practices for operating and scaling are well established, Godot then just becomes another client.

PSX - Build fully typed REST APIs
Why would someone use this over API Platform?
-
Anti-Laravel trends?
That looks like out-of-the-box api-platform. It even auto-updates the data on screen, no JS needed. Pretty powerful stuff and if it can be done in PHP, it can be done in other language.

Webhook to MySQL - any good solutions?
DreamFactory comes to mind - https://www.dreamfactory.com/ (https://github.com/dreamfactorysoftware/dreamfactory) which allows you to create apis from databases.

backend.sql and frontend.js = ♥
I feel very uneasy about this, and I am not sure why. I feel like the "meat and potatoes" of any application is its data and backend code, not the frontend. Frontends can change among clients, or even be given up altogether (just use a CLI/API interface for example) but the backend business logic is what defines a program. An app is what it _does_, not what it _looks like_.
This approach has been tried several times over the past few years: I first used DreamFactory[1] several years ago for a small production app (less than a few thousand users) and now I see Supabase [2] trying the same. But in my experience these don't go past very limited internal enterprise use-cases, MVPs and toy frontend apps.
- I have an existing php web app. I need an ORM with a UI and the ability to add custom buttons for actions on the data.
