Ask HN: Which framework are you using at your company to write REST API?

No framework at all. We use PostgreSQL and simply point postgREST at it, and it automatically generates an entire REST API from the database. Authentication and permissions are handled at the database level.

I can't think of any framework that would be more productive. Not having to maintain any back-end code is pretty amazing!

I've used Django Rest Framework a few times: http://www.django-rest-framework.org/

It comes with alot of nice to haves out of the box (auth, an admin backend, browsable api...) . Built on top of Django of course so there's some overhead there.

I wouldn't use it if high performance is top priority above all else.

I've been using Flask but I'm looking at replacing it with Go.

Python/Flask has been very productive for me though.

Also +1 Django REST Framework, it's been a huge productivity boost for us. For a small team dealing with a large codebase, its high-level abstractions provide lot of consistency while also providing enough flexibility for more specific use cases.

Spring Boot in the company, FeathersJS privately

Since everyone else in here is using Django or Flask, I feel obliged to chime in with Express on Node.JS

Flask for speed of development, not sure I would be so keen if I needed auth, and would look at Django REST

+1 on something for most-performance/lowest-overhead (excluding fp/dynamic) ?

Scalatra is pretty slick and simple.
