  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • Nest

    A progressive Node.js framework for building efficient, scalable, and enterprise-grade server-side applications with TypeScript/JavaScript 🚀

  • For Node/TS, check out NestJS which provides abstractions that provide a similar experience to building a .NET Core Web API and has integrations with popular ORMs, etc.

  • .NET Core can absolutely run on Lambda and API Gateway. Check out the demos: https://github.com/aws-samples/serverless-dotnet-demo/. While I haven't actually implemented an AWS API Gateway backed by .NET Core Lambdas with EF Core accessing an RDBMS, a quick internet search shows people using EF Core with Lambdas. Can you point to the documentation you found that said you that EF Core requires trimming? As to Gravitron, I assume you meant AWS Gravitron-processor-backed EC2 (sorry, I'm not that familiar with Gravitron)? Is this a hard requirement? Why do you care about Gravitron?

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
