Agree that BEAM is great and very scalable. I guess I disagree with the notion that Redis and DynamoDB are "centralized" and "brittle". Rather both are distributed, robust, and, I would add, battle-tested.
I do like the idea of a Typescript to BEAM compiler but that is beyond my capabilities and interests. Maybe someone lurking here could do that?
