One thing I think TypeScript is missing (on the server at least) is a Laravel-like (in that it covers everything, not it's exact style) framework. I'll be interested to keep an eye on this.

I wish it had serverless support but I know that's a whole other beast, I have really enjoyed the majority of my typescript on serverless work and would love a formal framework instead of what I've cobbled together.




NestJS[0] is the most popular framework to solve pretty much this exact issue.

It does support serverless[1], as well as many other features you can expect from such a framework.

To be honest, I don't think NestJS is even remotely comparable to anything like Symfony/Laravel.


Serverless is being worked on. We indeed plan to be Laravel/Symfony/Spring boot in the TypeScript world. Time will tell if we will be successful.


It already looks like SpringBoot at first glance. You'll have troves of Java devs flocking to something like this.

There's a general dislike towards Java/C# code nowadays, you can't argue that spring/springboot brought stability to the language and its mainstream usage.

Something like this in TS makes it feel familiar, and after trying the examples I am quite excited!
