Thanks for the slides, it doesn't look like the challenges are insurmountable, most of the things outlined in the slides are not so much lirbaries as organising your code to avoid circular dependencies (a good thing anyway), and which data store to use, which is a problem any app faces, I don't think it's esp. hard on Go. It would be nice if we had a better abstraction in database/sql so that this was the only package you used, but it's not bad.

Yes if you're producing a very small api service, the stdlib contains almost all the pieces you'll need, and I think avoiding dependencies is a good idea.

I guess frameworks start to shine where you have 50 services say for the same org, and want to share as much simple code as possible between them, have the same build and deploy pipeline for all, in which case using a framework or tool can help to keep things consistent.
