The answer is use whatever language/framework you know best. Know PHP? Use Laravel. Know Python? Use Django. For me, I am mainly a Javascript developer so I use AWS + Next.js. It's very easy to create an API with Serverless, hook up a DynamoDB table, maybe add some Cognito in there, etc. All just Javascript. You can deploy the Next.js site to S3. Obviously, this means a ton of external dependencies, but if you want something easily it I think it works well.
