All of the responses talk about a framework and I know you're thinking you need one too. But, I'm more curious about your plans to host things.

The reason I ask is because there are alternatives, like Google Cloud Functions [0], where you don't need a framework at all. You just write a handler and you're done. Connect it with Github actions for deployment.

There are other services out there, but I like GCF cause it'll auto scale. Need a database? Cloud SQL Postgres. Need a queue... Cloud Tasks... etc... so many problems solved in a relatively non-vendor lockin way.

EDIT: I'm getting downvoted for trying to make a helpful comment to the OP. Good work HN!
