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.

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