DX is not magic, and neither should your backend be!
summary
A new backend platform approach appears: an open source project at Platformatic v0.30.0 that builds APIs with Fastify, a GUI wizard that scaffolds a repo plus DB and a WSDL-style fully typed client for Next.js, a composer that merges multiple OpenAPI specs into one, auto-registration into an API catalog, and an engine that bundles distributed services into a single executable called nano services. The demo preview runs and the claim is these pieces remove endless infra toil while keeping a single-process deployable runtime.
