Well that wasn't me, I implemented an Akka + GraphQL nightmare instead :) Joking...

Been there, done that.

Did Akka; thank goodness that didn't make it to production.

GraphQL: Helped in many ways. Hurt in so many too. In production.

Everything in Actors: State was everywhere. So much pain. In production.

I just use Postgres + RPCs for everything now.

Yeah, I love my TypeScript serverless backend project and my successful DynamoDB project but often I think I could have saved a lot of pain by using PHP and/or Postgres.
