Ask HN: Is there a good unified end-to-end stack?

This may be a dumb question. I'm a full stack C#/DevOps guy with a bit of a dated skillset, but I want to get into some hobby projects... but the more I look into it, the more I remember all the various layers of glue that we have to roll ourselves on every platform. Surely there must be something off-the-shelf that will get me a nice mobile/web GUI and an online persistance layer, right? I mean, I know how to put things all together using .NET Core and EF and SQL Server or Postgres and Xamarin Forms for mobile and Razor templates for web and oData for restful stuff and a pile of powershell scripts for deployment and EF for migrations. I know all that stuff. And I can do it again. But even the simplest "hello world" application in that architecture represents a crapload of work. But I also know that these are solved problems and that I'm not opinionated. I'm more than willing to try a new platform, I don't care how exactly a GUI looks as long as it has the widgets I need, I'd rather it look native than perfectly match a .psd mockup. Sql, NOSQL, ORM, whatever. Surely this exists, right? An end-to-end stack where I don't have to worry about every layer of leaky abstraction, about passing every message from Javascript to REST to server objects to SQL and back again? If I'm willing to put up with restrictive abstractions? Because I want to get back into coding for myself, and I want to make full server client programs, but the idea of figuring out what's the "right" way to set up Auth these days just exhausts me when there are thoroughly well-known Best Practices and I would very much like to not have to think about them.
