Alchemy, the open-source TypeScript IaC framework, shipped its Effect 4.0 stable release with too many changes to fit in one tweet.
- [email protected] brings broad GCP resource coverage, pluggable secret providers, Prisma ORM support, better scheduling primitives for Durable Objects, and more.
- The author's favorite change: Neon is no longer just a database company — its role in the stack has expanded enough that he jokes it might be time to update Neon's Twitter handle.
