I highly recommend this book. Its a must read book IMHO. Especially useful when trying to select a database.

One of the best diagramming tools. Love your product. Thanks for the awesome free tool.

Have you considered Jhipster (https://jhipster.github.io/). JHipster is a Yeoman generator, used to create a Spring Boot + AngularJS project.

Lot of the boiler plate code generation across the stack is done for you.

Its using Spring so will need to use Java. Definitely work checking out.
