The stuff we used Go for was the right choice for Go for sure, but I don't think the API would have been any easier in Go (though I haven't used those frameworks before...).

We also could have done Django a lot better. And all of the Celery stuff probably should have been Go, especially with the Cassandra driver we were using. Still, I'm using Django today and as long as you don't abuse the ORM and nested DRF serializers too much, it's very scalable. I think as long as you make separate services in other languages at the right time for the right use cases, it's a very valid choice for rapidly building an API.
