Thanks for the response guys, was looking for some ideas and got a few so great stuff.
To give a bit of context if anyone cares;
- We're not bothered which language, our current stack has Python and JS but we can pick something up as long as there is a community out there to support us
- Prefer interpreted over compiled, so no .NET - although I love C# and we have years of experience in the team we don't want to move that way here
- We're fairly early product development stage, finding market fit so quick iteration is preferred over performance at scale, but obviously the less tech debt we incur the better
- We definitely do not want to write our own, (why does anyone?) we want to stand on the shoulders of giants and reap the benefits by applying a solid framework to our area of application
- Strapi looks great, thanks for the tip, I've read a little about Nest and like the look of that too but both still Node although that's not a bad thing
Anymore ideas feel free to ping them over, thanks again for the tips really appreciated
