The future of fast MVP's using Go and React

As Go matures, no-code (if you squint) solutions are making their way into the ecosystem. This means faster MVP's and less errors writing out the same CRUD project-after-project.

1. Starting with just your sql statements, you use sqlc to generate the models and entities
2. Write your actual service/business logic using the entities and interfaces sqlc generated (wish list: skip this step)
3. Use goa to generate your OpenAPI HTTP or gRPC webserver
4. Have openapi-generator produce the Typescript SDK you're UI will use to call it
5. Build out your interface
6. Publish (web, app store, etc..)
7. Make it home in time for dinner

Alternative realities include:

• https://github.com/masseelch/elk to generate HTTP handlers from ent types (no gRPC or GraphQL)
• ent + https://github.com/99designs/gqlgen to generate the graphql endpoints (no gRPC or REST)
• https://github.com/walterwanderley/sqlc-grpc/ to generate HTTP and gRPC handlers from sqlc (no GraphQL)
