supabase
The open source Firebase alternative. Supabase gives you a dedicated Postgres database to build your web, mobile, and AI applications.
How many people will use it and how will it be used? What is the app exactly going to do?
Whe first thing that comes to mind i Notion, which is a true no-code alternative if you want to build internal CRUD apps.
The next step would be to use a managed backend and a no-code frontend. For backend you can use services like Firebase [1], Nhost [2], or Supabase [3].
For frontend you can use something like Retool [4].

If applicable, instead of a full-blown app, could try a self-hosted forms solution, like https://github.com/ohmyform/ohmyform

Laravel
Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We’ve already laid the foundation for your next big idea — freeing you to create without sweating the small things.
A similar setup, for those more comfortable with PHP, would be Laravel [0] in conjunction with Livewire [1].
Laravel is basically the “Rails of PHP”, and has an absolutely incredible ecosystem to go with it.
Livewire was directly inspired by Phoenix LiveView. I only just recently started using it in my own projects, but it’s invaluable. Backend has always been my speciality, but now I can make real-time UIs just like the cool JS kids can too :)

Avo is beautifully packaged away and will not pollute your app with business files (only configuration files). Everything is abstracted away in the background so you get easy-updates by running one simple `gem update avo` command.
Large teams will move in a uniform way building the same UI all throughout the app.

im actually trying to build a kind of admin UI in .NET Core, scaffolding on POCOs: https://github.com/cloudy-net/Cloudy.CMS
although it is a little bit in disarray at the moment because of a migration to preact.

If you like TypeScript/JavaScript, I recently discovered RedwoodJS [1], and while I have never tried it, it looks like a simple and rather complete framework for basic CRUD apps, while leaving room for growth.

API Platform
🕸️ Create REST and GraphQL APIs, scaffold Jamstack webapps, stream changes in real-time.
Here it is: https://api-platform.com/
This is a framework built on top of Symfony and it provides you with full blown Hydra API simply by adding annotations on it. It enables you to make simple crud in like 15 minutes, but as it's built on top of Symfony it can also be used for really complex projects
-
Hasura
Blazing fast, instant realtime GraphQL APIs on all your data with fine grained access control, also trigger webhooks on database events.
Not sure if this qualifies but hasura[1] sounds like it would work well. It’s not REST and you could consider it to be a dependency but you wouldn’t have to write any code and you could deploy it using a docker container.

Strapi
🚀 Strapi is the leading open-source headless CMS. It’s 100% JavaScript/TypeScript, fully customizable, and developer-first.
Depends on what you're aiming for. For an API that will not be very flexible, its https://strapi.io/ may be good. https://feathersjs.com/ is good if you're looking for something flexible. If you are looking for more flexibility, you should write from scratch.

cookiecutter-django
Cookiecutter Django is a framework for jumpstarting production-ready Django projects quickly.
I use of django-cookiecutter [0] for most of my projects as it sets up a myriad of things, saving an incredible amount of time if you need your app to be production ready quick. May be better suited for those experienced with django though.

AdonisJS SQL ORM. Supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, Redshift, SQLite and many more (by adonisjs)
Sure, it's one of the best looking for that case, but still everything from the view templating system[1] to the database[2] it uses "by default" needs to be manually installed, which makes it def not like Django/RoR IMHO. Heck, even the simple session management needs to be installed separately[3].

I second Rails. It's incredibly polished and has really good gems to speed up dev. ActiveAdmin is a great gem if you need to quickly make an admin dashboard. It was useful when I had a small consultancy.

I was hoping someone would mention Kotlin and Spring! Kotlin is a pleasure to code with. And Spring Boot simplifies Spring tremendously, https://start.spring.io/
Lots of documentation for Java/Spring out there, but somewhat lacking for Kotlin/Spring. Some IDEs help by automatically converting from Java to Kotlin, like IDEA InteliJ.

Try the Yii PHP framework. It can generate full CRUD directly from the database. Building in support for access controls etc is quite easy. schema. https://www.yiiframework.com/
