I read a lot, and I mean a lot, but there's one blogger from whom I eagerly await a new post. Sam Rose creates some of the best visual explainers I have ever seen. His latest blog explores the challenges of handling failed network requests in software development and different retry methods.

It is a fantastic read.

You'll learn how to give your system the best chance to recover when failure happens.

Laravel Pulse

Let's be honest: the Laravel community and ecosystem are amazing. Laravel Pulse is a new open-source tool coming to the ecosystem which offers insights into your application's performance and usage. It looks incredible, and I can't believe it's open-source. Go Laravel!

AWS Lambda Get's Node 20

AWS Lambda now supports the Node.js 20 runtime, offering enhanced performance and new language features while streamlining certificate loading for faster cold starts and improved efficiency in serverless applications. I am a big fan of Serverless, so I am super excited about this one.

Ktor

At Atlassian, I use a lot of Kotlin and Spring Boot. Even though Spring Boot is rock solid, so much of it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Say hello to Ktor, a simple and fun framework for building server applications. Finally something that brings a more straightforward approach to web frameworks that I have come to expect from other languages.
