I used C#, SQL and Angular for the front end. Now I have moved to work on Serverless apps and am using NodeJS for Lambda functions and DynamoDB, still using Angular in the front end.
My main focus is JavaScript specialising in frontend UI with React. I like to explore different frameworks and technologies in my spare time. Learning languages (programming and real life) is a blast.

Mostly having Types which can be satisfied by using Typescript, but working with a NoSql database Where the schema will be changing, not having types is actually making our lives easier.
We honestly would of stuck with C# but working with Lambdas we could not take the hit of the cold starts we had (it took 15+ seconds to execute the first time) when with a scripted language like Javascript or Python it takes about 2 seconds. Very big difference

How did you find the shift? Do you miss any features of C# that JS doesn't provide?

Wow, that's a big difference. I didn't realise it could take so long from a cold start. That's a good reason for a switch.
