I’d go with Phoenix too. We build our APIs with it and it has been great so far.

The Phoenix tutorial will have you install the `phx.new` command. Once done, call `mix help phx.new` in your terminal and you will see options to disable HTML, LiveView, Tailwind and ESBuild when creating a new Phoenix project.
