on YouTube ↗13m

" summary

RavenDB is a NoSQL database and RavenDB Studio is a TypeScript UI that gets built and shipped, using types generator to produce API typings so frontend and backend stay in sync. The team reports about four to five years of incremental TypeScript adoption from 1.7 to 4.0, CI fails fast on signature mismatches, generated classes encode endpoints and URLs, and features like the never type and type algebra catch missing code paths and reduce runtime bugs.
