Platformatic Cloud and other adventures in Nodeland - Issue #88

Hi Folks,

I’m sorry I couldn’t send an edition of Adventures in Nodeland last week. Last week was extremely busy. My family went to London from the 8th to the 12th of December. On our way home, we had a travel nightmare: British Airways canceled our flight from London to Bologna. We had to figure out an alternative travel plan to get back home asap, as Zoe was starting to get sick. We crossed the Channel on a Eurostar train and flew out from Paris! What an adventure! On the 14th I traveled to Malaga for WeyWeyWeb, a unique Yey Yey conference! There I demoed Platformatic Cloud on stage for the first time.

Platformatic Cloud

I’m incredibly proud of the work my team at Platformatic did in the last few months. Since the announcement of Platformatic DB, we have been focusing on building our cloud. You can read the announcement on our blog or watch the demo.

• OpenNext takes the Next.js build output and converts it into a package that can be deployed to any function as a service platform. It supports all Next.js 13 features, including SSG, ISR, SSR, Image Optimization, and Middleware. While this project shows the capabilities of Next.js, it tries to convince that Next.js is not Open Source. I’m afraid I disagree with that statement: according to the OSI definition, Next.js is an Open Source project.
