A serious question: what kind of stack should I choose so I can run a web backend installing no deps whatsoever? I know that Perl works on ubuntu out of the box. Anything else? Maybe Python?
Also, what can be used to replace a reverse proxy like nginx? And what kind of database is available out of the box?

    Honestly, if your backend is solely for database queries I would recommend just use supabase or pocket host, you can just write custom rules/filters on incoming requests. Unless you need to access another api in backend other than modifying the database

    Python is what I've used, but I've heard Go is nice for backend. I've been experimenting with the language I want to try to see what some web apps would be like with it.

    What do you need the reverse proxy to do?
    TLS termination? Otherwise you wouldn't need a reverse proxy (if you want to keep it simple).
