Working on a number of quarantine projects, I have come close to this now. Currently make single fullstack repo for the app with backend and frontend code committed together and deployed separately. Client goes to Netlify. Backend to a hosted VM that can autoupdate from Github and apply schema migrations.

Local dev, autorefreshes the Vuejs frontend code (yarn serve) and backend autorefreshes with `air` if Go-based or Intellij debug hot-reload if Jvm-based. I can whip up a db schema, backend, and frontend in a day with a good amount of layout and styling. It just took repetition and templating a few things.

Which is to say it doesn't take a lot of tooling to be productive--as long as it's focused.
