I don’t understand how this Micro framework is valuable unless your entire team writes Go. Even then, this is not just ‘micro services’ it’s a monolith on a proprietary framework that happens to have network hops between function calls. It is the kitchen sink!
Yes we expect you to write everything in Go. I don't think that should be surprising since all of frontend is JavaScript, iOS is objective C and Android is Java. We think cloud is as complex Architecture as any of those and that requires a single language and framework for it.
Your conclusion does not follow from your premise.
I think this is a spectacular claim that requires spectacular evidence. Service code is a different beast from interface code. The most practical reason to use the microservices pattern is to enable polyglot programming so you can use the right ecosystem for the right job. Need a monolith API gateway wrapper to throw up a CRUD app real quick? Ruby and Python have got you covered. Need access to a large enterprise system? Great, you've got Java and .NET. Inheriting a crufty legacy WordPress codebase and need to make it better without a full rewrite? PHP has ways to make it less shitty.
Could you give me a compelling reason why I, if I had a codebase already written on any of those languages, would entertain rewriting the whole thing in Go to use your framework? Would theoretical me not be in your target user demographic?
To the extent that this is true, I don't think the complexity of the architecture has anything to do with the reason there's a single language for them.
I've written Hasura actions for the service, which allow painless redirection of arbitrary GraphQL to (e.g.) an AWS Lambda function. Direction function support is on NHost's roadmap.

Deploy JavaScript/TypeScript/Python/C# backend function apps with a modern frontend in one go, sets it all up for you on GitHub and handles the build process and SSL certificates for custom domains too.
The Dark language itself is not what you’re looking for, and I don’t know if I would trust it in production (it’s still in beta). But the platform makes it extremely quick to get a POC backend working.
Besides the other answers, I found Cloudfare Workers[1] seem to nearly fit the bill (the only problem is that workers are written in JS - though you can also write them in Rust, C or C++, with the caveat that they compile to WASM, then are executed via the JS API).
Pricing start free! With $5/month you get access to KV (Key-Value Storage) and a generous amount of requests (10 million/month) which seems appropriate for my needs... and it's still in beta, but they also have consistent storage now with Durable Objects[2].

Micro seems to be a Go framework evolved to automatically deploy code to the "cloud", but it seems it'll remain limited to Go backends... I can write Go without problems, but I wanted something that supports other languages as well, specially Java... I think RedHat seems to offer that with OpenShift and Quarkus[1], but their material is so ridden with marketing buzzwords I am not sure it's suitable for what I'm looking for (basically, a small server that can store a small amount of documents or key-value information on whatever database the platform supports without fuss).
Heroku seems to be the most close to this I could find, but it's pretty expensive from what I saw if you need a DB.
Does anyone have suggestions for alternatives?
