Philosophy

• FP first
• Productivity oriented
• extensible and flexible. Easy to customize
• Scalable - monolith are easy, microservices made fun
• Best practices
  • schemas & comprehensive integration tests are the most effective ways to document and create a maintainable system
• Performance is important
• ORMs - only change a db for specialization reasons. The native query language is usually the best What is familiar but of no benefit:
• DI - (mocking can be done in other ways)
