@achrinza, thanks for writing up this blog post! LGTM, just a minor comment about the title.
I'm thinking whether we want to have a blog post promoting the new blog location and introducing this blog post series about how our maintainers using LB (as discussed in one of the maintainers' call).

| This transitions well into the next great thing about LoopBack 4 - Its flexibility lends itself to being a great candidate for projects that are not related to web APIs. In `@loopback/core`, abstract concepts such as Lifecycle Observers, Servers, and Services provide the foundational building blocks for virtually any enterprise Node.js project. Hence, when we needed to build a CLI, we were able to re-use many of the non-HTTP LoopBack 4 packages, thereby exploiting many of the same abstractions that we came to love with LoopBack 4. Although we had to implement our own "CLI Server", we were able to build one with confidence as we were already familiar with the "LoopBack Way", and were able to progressively build these internal framework extensions with the same principles of exposing as much of the API to the developer, and providing a graceful approach to "step down" from the abstraction. We've been continuing to enhance this CLI framework internally, and were able to progressively iterate it over time to suit our needs, and we hope to be able to contribute it back to the LoopBack 4 open source project in the future once we're confident in its maturity. | ||

| Finally, the major advantage of LoopBack 4 is that it does not hide its configuration files; As alluded to earlier, a starter LoopBack 4 project would contain swaths of configuration files for the TypeScript compiler, Prettier, ESlint, etc. Although this may look intimidating at first, this approach may actually be beneficial to many developers. Due to LoopBack 4's assumption that the developer may tweak these configuration files themselves, there isn't an "ejected" state like many other frameworks. This means that we are able to still utilise the LoopBack 4 CLI, even as we tweak a configuraiton here and there. As such, we were able to learn the ins and outs of a typical LoopBack 4 project while still having the support of the CLI to accelerate our workflow. |
