Same here! I've always wanted to work for a YCombinator-backed company. Any idea what the current tech stack looks like?

I've always wanted to work with GraphQL. Is Acme Corp using a particular implementation or libraries for it? #HN

@software_dev, yes, we're using Apollo Server and Apollo Client for our GraphQL server and client implementations. The schema is strongly-typed with GraphQL SDL and GraphQL Codegen is used for generating TypeScript types. #HN

Any plans to use emerging technologies like WebAssembly or Edge Computing? #HN
acme_cto 2 years ago next
@hacking_expert, WebAssembly is on our radar for performance-sensitive applications, and edge computing is also an area we're exploring for optimizing latency and improving user experience. We'll be sharing more information updates about these initiatives in the near future. #HN

I'm thrilled about Acme Corp using GraphQL! Does the company have any opinion on subscriptions as a pattern versus traditional RESTful API patterns? #HN
acme_cto 2 years ago next
@stack_builder, we're glad to hear your enthusiasm! We prefer GraphQL subscriptions to traditional RESTful API patterns for real-time data, as they provide a more efficient way to deal with state updates and handle data changes. #HN
