How serverless helps keep your WordPress site secure
Doing this does require using Bedrock or at least composer, but it's possible and it works. My blog auto-updates this way. (You can see it on the GitHub repo.)

Any frameworks for plugin development out there?
I just started on a new plugin, and I used this boilerplate as my jumping-off point. So far, it seems to abstract away from wordpress just a little less than something like the Underpin framework I linked to in the original post does, so I feel like it's helping me get a bit of a feel for how WP handles things, while also adding some much-needed structure and doing things like helping separate the dashboard side from the frontend side. As for the REST API side, where would you turn to that? Is that just when you want to expose bits of the site to external services, or would you use it to allow internal components to communicate with one another or something like that?

Where to start with plugin development? I have previous experience from web development.
https://pippinsplugins.com/learn/. I learned quite a bit from Pippin. I use the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate when I create custom plugins (https://wppb.io/). If you go that route, you'll end up learning OOP PHP in the process.

Well Written Plugins
The WordPress Plugin Boilerplate is a nice template for starting your next plugin. It's certainly not the only way to do things, but you can learn a lot by going through it.

How to write a Plugin manager?
Take a look at the plugin boilerplate repo to get an idea of how a good plugin (with more than just basic functionality) might be set up. Way down at the bottom of plugin-name.php, it calls run_plugin_name(), which then calls other things and other things and other things, etc.
