This is true (with the caveat of some interesting edge-cases with npgsql and F#), however the next paragraph in the article mentions "a lack of a high-level, production web stack". Definitely a personal take here, but since I've worked for a while with postgres, a "high-level, production web stack" for me is something that has an established, good DX way to work with this popular database. Managing ADO.NET connections, working around the type systems and writing a lot of mapping/connecting code are all things that don't solve my business problem. While not prolific, I've written a handful of production web applications in F# (Suave, Giraffe, Saturn, and Razor Pages) as well as other stacks, and have found a hybrid approach that works for my concerns, but I've found a comprehensive solution not as simple as other ecosystems.

I'd love to read through some production Saturn and Giraffe setups - is any of your stuff public?

  Unfortunately almost all of my work is not public. I've always envied folks with lots of public code to show and share. I had created an F# starter-kit repo (somewhere between hackathonstarter and bullet-train saas kit) along with some blog posts, but I just haven't had free time to wrap it up and publish the repo/blog posts. I see questions frequently about data access and serialization/validation in F# web apps, which I had specific sections about. Hopefully I'll have some time in the near future to continue the work. In the mean time feel free to DM me any questions. There's nothing too fancy about the code. If you looked at other production code, and swapped out what your best guess for the F# translation would be, you're probably most of the way there.

    We're using Giraffe and it's great. The nice thing IMO is that is sits on top of ASP.NET core. So it's fast and if you need something like SignalR, ... it integrate flawlessly.
