Typeform

Abstracts the frontend from data fetching complexities of a microservice architecture, plus it gives more granular control over which data is fetched and when.

90% of our backend code is #Go

Typeform initially was a #PHP #Symphony monolith. For the past 3 years, we have been migrating to #Golang microservices and we are almost almost done.

As a #Frontend developer I'm used to using tools like #BootstrapCDN or some APIs/Library like #GoogleMaps to create or have styled elements with cool functionality. But this requires me remembering Bootstrap classes, or trying to get Google Maps to work in #Angular. 😢

And that's just framework agnostic solutions... If you look at framework specific libraries you end up dealing with the fact you are pigeon holed into using framework specific libraries!

Libraries like Polymer or Stencil for #WebComponents are definitely the way to go!
