TypeScript Catches the Bugs That Cost 6x More to Fix in Production

IBM research shows that production bugs cost 6x more to fix than bugs caught during development. TypeScript catches entire categories of errors at compile time: null reference errors, type mismatches, missing properties, and incorrect function signatures. We build TypeScript-first frontends that are safer, faster to refactor, and easier for new team members to understand.

What's Included

Everything you get with our TypeScript Development

TypeScript Architecture and Configuration

Strict TypeScript configuration with path aliases, module resolution, and compiler options optimized for your framework and build tool

Type System Design

Domain-specific types, API response interfaces, component prop types, and utility types that model your application's data accurately and catch errors at compile time

Migration or Greenfield Setup

Gradual migration from JavaScript to TypeScript with per-file adoption, or greenfield TypeScript project setup with strict mode and comprehensive type coverage from day one

Our TypeScript Development Process

1

Type System Architecture

We design the type system: domain models, API response types, component prop interfaces, and utility types. The type architecture is reviewed to ensure it accurately models your application's data flow.

2

Configuration and Tooling

We configure TypeScript with strict mode, path aliases, and compiler options optimized for your framework. We set up IDE integration, lint rules, and CI/CD type checking.

3

Implementation or Migration

For new projects, we build with TypeScript from the first file. For existing JavaScript projects, we create a gradual migration plan that converts files incrementally without disrupting active development.

4

Type Coverage and Quality Verification

We verify type coverage across the codebase, ensure no unsafe type assertions (as any) are used without justification, and confirm that the CI/CD pipeline blocks code that does not type-check.

Key Benefits

Compile-time bug prevention

TypeScript catches null references, type mismatches, missing properties, and incorrect function calls before code reaches production. IBM says these bugs cost 6x more to fix in production. TypeScript eliminates them entirely.

Types as documentation

Type definitions for API responses, component props, and function signatures tell developers exactly what data each part of the application expects. New team members read types to understand the codebase instead of running the application and experimenting.

Safe refactoring at any scale

Rename a property, change a function signature, or restructure a data model and the TypeScript compiler identifies every file that needs updating. Refactoring that would take days of manual searching in JavaScript takes minutes with TypeScript.

Research & Evidence

Backed by industry research and proven results

Systems Sciences Institute

The cost to fix a bug in production is 6x that of one found during design, and TypeScript's compile-time checking catches type errors, null references, and interface mismatches before code reaches production

The Developer Coefficient

42% of developer time goes to technical debt, and TypeScript's type system serves as documentation that prevents the misunderstandings that create technical debt

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we migrate from JavaScript to TypeScript gradually?

Yes, and we recommend it. TypeScript supports gradual adoption: you can add TypeScript files alongside JavaScript files and migrate one file at a time. We create a migration plan prioritized by risk: API boundaries and shared utilities first, then components, then leaf-level code.

Does TypeScript slow down development?

In the first two weeks of a project, TypeScript adds about 10 to 15 percent overhead for type definitions. After that, it accelerates development because autocomplete, refactoring tools, and compile-time checks eliminate debugging time. Net developer velocity increases within the first month.

Should we use strict mode?

Always. Strict mode catches null references, implicit any types, and other common errors that permissive TypeScript misses. Non-strict TypeScript provides a false sense of safety. We enable strict mode from day one on new projects and migrate to strict mode on existing projects.

How long does a TypeScript migration take?

A small to medium application with 50 to 100 files typically takes 2 to 4 weeks for full migration. Large applications with 200+ files take 4 to 8 weeks with gradual adoption that does not block feature development. We deliver the migration incrementally.
