  • 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
  • TypeScript

    TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that compiles to clean JavaScript output.

  • Most of the time I work with serverless technologies. I use TypeScript and Node.js, but Lambda functions only accept JavaScript code.

  • webpack

    A bundler for javascript and friends. Packs many modules into a few bundled assets. Code Splitting allows for loading parts of the application on demand. Through "loaders", modules can be CommonJs, AMD, ES6 modules, CSS, Images, JSON, Coffeescript, LESS, ... and your custom stuff.

  • And this is all about it. The npm run cdk deploy command will now work without Docker, and the deployment will be fast. CDK will use esbuild to automatically transpile TypeScript to JavaScript. We don't have to use webpack or other bundlers as CDK and esbuild will solve everything for us.

  • 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.
