I doubt there is one correct answer, as this is going to depend on language preferences, whether the service is offered by a company you might already have an account with, etc.
But I'd love any and all opinions on this subject!

Ruby on Rails: it also has an API-only mode
I recently build my first API application, the Backend ist just one php file ans a SQlite database.
For the JS crew I still find sails.js with blueprint turned on for APIs really useful.
You can use adonis js, it is great. You'll love it.
If you need to call your APIs with runtime and compile time type checks, take a look at zodios
Depends on the meaning of simple. Simple in the sense of small or simple in the sense of easy to use. And yes it highly depends on your preferred programming language and it's ecosystem. If you're familiar with Python I can highly recommend FastAPI. With Typescript/Javascript it's Express. All other famous programming languages like C# or Go need a greater effort to set up and they must be compiled.
C# APIs are a lot easier than they used to be since VS 2022 arrived.
If you leave the VS 2022 monster out of the game and use the command line, yes I agree. You can quickly generate a API in minutes.
At token.art we've grown fond of the Postgres + Hasura combo.
I've made plenty of APIs with API Gateway, Lambda, and DynamoDB. I use CDK to define the infrastructure and by now I have enough code examples to build things pretty quickly. I have a CDK Construct that helps speed my development up too so that my file structure defines my API structure kind of like Next.js does with web pages.
Parse and Hasura are quick to deploy and consume.
@polterguy just posted about their company's product Aista, which I think fits the conversation if you want to generate said API from an existing database.
Can you understand what this website is in less than 5 seconds?
