The Deno team is joining Cloudflare to radically simplify self-hosting Workers and Durable Objects, so developers can use the same primitives in more places.
Since joining Cloudflare, VoidZero has delivered more than 80 releases that drastically speed up JavaScript compilation, linting, and testing. From a 10x faster React compiler to Vite+ 1.0, here’s how we are building faster tools for developers and AI agents.
Workers now enables Node.js compatibility by default, supports applications up to 64 mebibytes, and adds a URL-based module registry with import.meta, lazy compilation, shared code caches, and clearer errors.
Large language models (LLMs) are great at answering questions, but they have an important limitation: they don’t inherently have access to what’s happening on the web right now.
Ryan welcomes VoidZero’s Evan You and Cloudflare’s Dane Knecht back to the show to discuss Cloudflare’s recent acquisition of VoidZero and what it means for JavaScript development, how partnerships like theirs can help open-source projects stay maintained and sustainably monetized, and how Cloudflare’s distributed systems are helping to improve developer experience in Vite and beyond.

In this post, I want to write down my thoughts in the hope that it may be useful to others, probably to my future self. Definitions You may have been wondering about the title terms.
HTML images just got better, with the subtlest change to your codebasePhoto by Adi SuyatnoI know what you’re thinking.Scott, I landed on Medium on a small but not mobile-small display and the download chunk related to images in my home feed was like 7% smaller.First of all, thank you for noticing.Second, what if I told you that you too can improve your total asset download size by adding just four characters to your code base?Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, I’m here to tell you, it’s true… after I explain how we got here.The history of images on the webAs a web developer, you’ve…
We were annoyed with the slow performance of our frontend unit tests, so we made them much faster! It turned out that swapping out the test runner is an easy and efficient way to keep the migration effort low, while reaping the benefits of much faster execution times.

This post explains how to conditionally create resources in AWS CDK using CfnCondition. It provides a practical example of creating an S3 bucket based on an SSM parameter value. The post covers defining a condition, attaching it to a low-level CDK construct, and importing the conditionally created resource.
As we can already guess from the name, a Proxy object works as a “proxy” to another object and allows us to customize the behavior of the said object in certain ways. Let’s say you have an obj named awesomeAPI which has some properties and methods. You want to “trap” any calls to the object. May […] The post Proxy in JavaScript appeared first on Abu Ashraf Masnun.
