Rails for Everything
With tools like ogen[1], one can take a single Swagger or OpenAPI doc and generate server code with request/response validation, Prometheus metrics, OpenTelemetry, and more.
It can also generate clients and webhooks. Authentication is just declaring a SecurityScheme in the OpenAPI documentation then implementing a single function. The rest of the backend is just implementing a single interface. Unlike oapi-codegen, there is no need to tinker with middleware for authentication or logging.
Pair this with a tool like sqlc[2] and SQLite's `pragma user_version`, and you get type-safe database code and database migrations for free. I will concede that adding SQLite is a manual process, but its just two imports added to main.go.
Frontend is entirely your choice. Go's standard library provides good enough text templating that I don't miss ERB or Django-style templates. Using embed/fs, one can easily embed a bunch of assets into a single static binary, so deployment can be as simple as `go build` and moving a single binary.
I actually have a hard time using languages besides Go for developing backends, because the code generation tools eliminate the boilerplate I frequently face in other languages while also avoiding the hundreds of dependencies that Spring Boot or Quarkus need.

I write HTTP services in Go after 13 years (Mat Ryer, 2024)
https://github.com/ogen-go/ogen
Write openapi definition, it'll do routing, definition of structs, validation of JSON schemas, etc.
All I need to do is implement the service.
Validating an integer range for a querystring parameter is just too boring. And too easy to mistype when writing it manually.
Anyways, so far only been playing, so haven't found the bad parts yet.

Any good OpenAPI 3.x spec generator for a Go REST API?
We have used https://github.com/deepmap/oapi-codegen in production for a long time and it's rock solid. Up and coming https://github.com/ogen-go/ogen is being developed rapidly and also worth keeping an eye on.
