When you start a new project and get to a point when you need to write a backend, what do you use to make it quicker?
Do you have any language that helps you start faster?
Do you use any SaaS apps to save time on some infra, especially like metrics, logs, and auth?
How do you handle APIs? (like do you use OpenAPI, or go with gRPC or smth else)
What's your go-to place for hosting services?
It'd be really interesting to hear your thoughts on this in the comments!
