Go Backend

stdlib routing, html/template, single binary deploys. No framework needed — the standard library is the framework.

Alpine.js + HTMX

HTMX for server-driven UI. Alpine.js for reactive islands where you need client-side state. 30KB total.

• Docker — FROM scratch single-binary images

• Railway / Cloudflare — deploy anywhere
