What this trail covers

Spotify is actively driving the adoption and support of TypeScript across its highly distributed engineering community. This involves establishing best practices, providing resources, and fostering a culture of shared learning to ensure successful integration and utilization of TypeScript within various engineering teams and projects. The `@spotify/web-scripts` project provides opinionated tooling to simplify the creation and maintenance of TypeScript NPM libraries, including build, linting, testing, and release configurations.
