- Express
Express.js is a simple Node.js framework for single, multi-page, and hybrid web applications.
- Docker
A website that uses Docker for containerization to streamline development, testing, and deployment workflows. This includes features such as containerization of dependencies, automated builds and deployments, and container orchestration to ensure scalability and availability.
- Graphql
A website that uses GraphQL as a query language to manage data fetching and state management. This includes features such as a strongly typed schema, client-side caching, and declarative data fetching to streamline data management and optimize website performance.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
