Terraform for better or worse is frequently updated with new versions. Many of these introduce incompatibilities with previous versions that require manual rework of Terraform definitions as well as require updating the local or remote Terraform state. I originally developed a solution for deploying Next.js to AWS using Terraform

TypeScript is an excellent language for writing AWS Lambda functions. Its flexible static typing allows for high developer productivity and since it can be transpiled into JavaScript, our code can be bundled into small deployment packages that allow for fast Lambda cold starts, without need for keeping 'warm'

Please find an updated and extended version of this post here: The Ultimate Guide to TypeScript Monorepos. Project references in TypeScript are an amazing feature for building complex TypeScript projects. They enable dividing a large project into smaller, indepedent modules and thereby improving code organisation as well as compile times;
