In my previous article, I was suggesting a strategy for a full transformation from JavaScript to TypeScript in a large-scale R&D operation. In this article, I discuss the conclusions we've drawn as a company while writing microservices with TypeScript and explain why using it for your next Node application is an excellent idea.

During one of my first days as a new developer at Natural Intelligence, I was requested to write a microservice that interfaced with some external APIs and required some complicated logic. The microservice needed proper software design and architectural planning. Always keen for a new challenge, I was very excited about the mission.
After I presented the High-Level Design document to the relevant parties, I felt like something was missing — a comprehensive examination of all the requirements made me ask myself: “Is JavaScript adequately robust to implement this complex software design?”
Finding the answer to this question took me on a wonderful journey in which I successfully employed a method of implementing a big change in a dynamic organization.
