• serverless-graphql

  215 2,708 0.0 JavaScript

  Serverless GraphQL Examples for AWS AppSync and Apollo

  

For a straw man, you can take something like a REST endpoint, throw it into a SLS (Serverless) project targeted at AWS and write nothing but FP code dealing with the payload of an Event and responding in kind, with a small config file (written in yml or ts) that will set up all of your infrastructure (API Gateway, performance specs, additional IAM resources, S3 buckets, whatever). Developers can then leverage built in features (like payload or path parameter verification, serialization schemes, and authorization layers) and write a stack of heavily test covered functions that perform non-mutating operations on data. The framework can do all manner of things from responding to different header specs ("I sent JSON, but I want application/html" as an extreme case... but you can plug in VTL to decorate JSON on the response, via config).

• Spring Boot

Nest.js is a framework for people who come from and/or prefer Java frameworks like Jakarta (previously "Java Enterprise Edition" AKA JEE and before that "Java 2 Enterprise Edition" AKA J2EE) or Springboot and the like.

• RxJS

  98 30,191 8.8 TypeScript

  A reactive programming library for JavaScript

  

Personally, since the dawn of Reactive X and the arrival of rxjs†, more Node and JS/TS developers have been introduced to concepts from FP and we've seen a number of frameworks that are more bent in this direction. This has led to major paradigm changes in the Node and JS world, like React moving to hooks and pure function components, changes in ES6 and ES8 and so on (object spreads, map/reduce functions, etc), the rise of "serverless" solutions and the like.

• ramda

Yes, some Node devs get really into using libraries like Monet or Rambda and for the non-initiated that code can read like spaghetti.
