Honestly any backend can do the job perfectly. Its really up to you in terms of preference.

Or if you'd like some php, try out those light frameworks like Slim or Flight (I like Slim) because its easier to handle json with them.

Great to hear from you. Right now, I'm working on a nodejs api and as a next step, I'm looking for some api of python. Do you have any suggestion?

Ok I don't wanna lie, I've never touched python for backend EVER! I think its because I did so much course work with it. Many though suggest I try out django

I ain't used python, neither. I've used php and now using javascript as backend. Will surely checkout the django framework.

Apollo and GraphQL fit in nicely with React.

There are GraphQL implementations in multiple languages if you have a different preference for your backend.
