TypeScript isn't just for frontend anymore.
We started migrating our Node.js services to TypeScript.
Pros: - Catch more issues at compile time - Improved developer onboarding - IDE support makes refactoring safer
We used ts-node-dev and strict typing mode. Took some effort, but dev confidence is way up.
Lesson: Define shared types via .d.ts and keep interfaces small and clean.
