Hi Folks,
I’m writing these lines en route to the first on-site meeting with a company using Fastify and Platformatic. I’m excited that we are moving fast. In this edition, we cover quite a few things: first, I will be talking about an app that I love. Then, we cover the latest Node.js core release, finishing with new videos and articles.
We are also planning some big news for Platformatic. Subscribe to our newsletter at platformatic.dev or join our discord.
Thanks for reading!

I also streamed on Monday, producing the 11th video in the “Unscalable Queue” series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwYA19LOpv8. In this video, we refactored the “Unscalable Queue System” test suite, eliminating quite a lot of duplication: https://github.com/platformatic/unscalable-queue-system/pull/32. We also fixed a bug in Platformatic: https://github.com/platformatic/platformatic/pull/711.
