What Hacker News says
6 sourcesDeriving an application using the best of frameworks - I believe is still very arduous. Yes, [ROR, Django,..] have helped but they kind of have been stagnant in their ease of deriving an app for many years.
Hence I am using a home-brewed stack on Express (Node.jS) + Nuxt (Vue.js) + MySql + Google App Engine.
This is based on Xmysql - which is absolutely a zero configuration way to derive REST APIs.
Xmysql : https://github.com/o1lab/xmysql/
I plan to make internal framework open source in coming few months.
It has built in features of regular frameworks + Authentication + Authorization + ACL + Payments (Stripe) + Microservice (google-cloud functions) + Pubsub (background jobs)..
In Ask HN: What's your favorite way of getting a web app up quickly in 2018?Building REST APIs for database schemas which do not follow conventions of frameworks (rails,django,play etc) is incredibly tedious.
Xmysql solves this problem [1]. Within 2 seconds you can serve REST APIs for any MySql database.
Other than CRUD-List APIs it has few more cool APIs and features relating to filtering, grouping and prototyping.

This has been a fun project that I worked on last year. I started to learn backend but felt the process of creating rest apis can be improved. And I started to work on Xmysql. It is written in nodejs.
In Ask HN: What has been your most rewarding job or project and why?This is neat. Was looking for something like this for Xmysql[1] - which has a CHART API to fetch 'numeric column distribution' in MySql table. The data from Xmysql-chart-api[2] can then be fed to this. Will give it a try over weekend.

https://github.com/o1lab/xmysql
Has some really nice apis for group by, join and intutive way to perform 'where', 'order by' and other MySql clauses.
