DynamoDB data modeling tools keep getting smarter, but most still miss the real challenge: designing for 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀! 🛠️

fwd:cloudsec Europe 2025 | fwd:cloudsec fwd:cloudsec is a non-profit conference on cloud security. At this conference you can expect discussions about all the major cloud platforms, both attack and defense research, limitations of security features, the pros and cons of different security strategies, and generally the types of things cloud practitioners want to know, but that don't fit neatly into a vendor conference schedule.

The lineup for fwd:cloudsec Europe is revealed, presenting a two-day event filled with top-tier presentations on a single track, alongside engaging "Birds of a Feather" discussion sessions. Sponsorship slots remain open.

This week it's tRPC vs oRPC in a typesafe API battle on TanStack, with Postman to show off how portable OpenAPI setups are. We'll also compare to raw APIs and server functions, so you get the whole picture of all of your options. youtu.be/_oHJUxkAM1w

This is a huge milestone

Another month done ✔️

Here are a bunch of fixes, features we added to EventCatalog to help you all document, govern and discover your architecture.

I've been invited by the wonderful @tanstack.com team to help them build out framework-agnostic devtools not for only them, but for everyone!

Finding the right service, owner, or message in a distributed system shouldn’t be a pain.

I just rebuilt EventCatalog’s search to help orgs quickly filter & find the exact resources they need—faster onboarding, better collaboration, less guesswork.

I wanted to improve the search on EventCatalog.

Soon you will be able to filter by domain, service, messages, teams, AsyncAPI and OpenAPI files.

Hopefully helping you find what you need, faster!

YouTube video by Alexander Lichter Vercel BUYING NuxtLabs - What it means for you!

After the @dejavue.fm episode earlier this week, I also wanted to gather my own thoughts and share my opinion on @vercel.com's acquisition of @nuxtlabs.com.

What do you think about it?

this month we started work on the @e18e.dev CLI!

if you have any ideas or want to try it out during pre-release, come join us in the Discord 🎉

the vision is that we'll be able to lint dependency trees, publishing, and hopefully automate fixes (incl migrations!)

The Beauty of TanStack Router Yes, it's type-safe, but there's so much more to love about TanStack Router.

📚 Finally found the time to write about what I think the best parts about @tanstack.com Router are. Yes, type-safety (duh), but there is so much more to talk about. Honestly, coupled with React Query, this is the most productive stack I’ve ever worked with 🚀

🚨 Big news!

We’ve been collaborating with the legendary
@tannerlinsley.com and the TanStack team to build something new:

TanStack DB — a reactive, normalized, transactional state engine that extends TanStack Query.
