FastAPI (Python) or NestJS to produce self documented APIs via route annotations, handled by framework, and then from that, export an openapi file that you use to create the client in your necessary language. In so doing, every service I make can be commanded with ease by whoever wants to use it, at minimal overhead for me as the service maintainer.
It was a decent amount of effort to work out the bugs, enough so that I think better documentation around getting setup would be valuable, but of course the documentation is so cross-cutting that it’s difficult. But the work was well worth it—I’m much happier with this workflow where I don’t have to roll a service layer lib for my front end, nor use vanilla fetch libraries.
