We’ve open-sourced @xata.io/importer our core code which parses CSV files - if you're interested in building on top of our importer, we invite you to contribute.

At Xata, we’re relying on the Postgres logical replication events quite a bit. Having a reliable stream with everything that has changed in the database is really useful in a number of cases, including data syncing to Elasticsearch, web-hooks, attachments clean-up, and more. One of the configuration parameters for logical replication is the so called “replica identity”:

Xata.io is the ultimate solution for Jamstack Developers looking to quickly set up their database schema and streamline their development workflow 🥇✨

In this article, we are going to use Xata as a serverless database, think of Xata as a platform where we can create and access the database inside our application through API endpoints.

One of the key benefits of the JAMstack for frontend developers is the ability to focus on building user interfaces without the need for server-side rendering or complex backend logic. This allows for a more agile and efficient development process, as well as the ability to leverage a wide range of third-party APIs and services to build dynamic and engaging user experiences. They can use their favorite UI frameworks (Like React, Vue, Svelte). If there is a need for a custom backend API (other than a headless CMS), there are plenty of tools which makes this relatively simple like for example Heroku, Firebase, Xata, restdb.io and codehooks.io 😄

Not too long ago, Xata (spreadsheet-like database) reached out to me and got me the freedom to touch code from time to time, but mainly focus on product design and I was thrilled, it was my dream job and I could proudly put designer on my job title for the first time without feeling that I’m not good enough and I better do JavaScript, or Storybook, or estimations. I was working on developer tool, with developers, but doing designs and research!

Xata.io is a serverless database for Jamstack apps that combines the power of a traditional database, making it easier to manage, consume, and store data. Step 1: Go to https://xata.io/ and click start building for free you will; have the option to signup with Google, Github, or your Email. Step 2: From the dashboard, click start from scratch

For this application to manage the database of your application, you need to create an account with Xata by clicking here. It is completely free to create an account and should take about a minute.

In this article, we will learn how to use Xata, a serverless, branch-able, scalable, consistent, highly available, searchable database to build a resume builder’s backend, and Cloudinary, a cloud-based asset management service, to manage all assets. At the same time, Next.js will be used to handle the front-end development.

AssemblyLift is an open platform for cloud-native application development. AssemblyLift provides a portable, function-oriented framework and WebAssembly-based runtime which can be deployed to AWS Lambda or Kubernetes. The AssemblyLift CLI generates HashiCorp Terraform infrastructure code from simple TOML definitions, and takes care of compiling and packaging functions and services for deployment. To make a clichéd comparison, think of it as Infrastructure on Rails 😛

Since our last post introducing the AssemblyLift v0.4-alpha series, we've had two new alpha releases which introduced some major additions & improvements!

Today we're making available the first alpha release of AssemblyLift v0.4. This initial release brings a few exiting improvements to AssemblyLift including

After nearly two years in part-time development, AssemblyLift has been through three major revisions, sitting now at v0.3.2.

In this guide we'll use AssemblyLift to deploy our Lambda function, and define our API and an authorizer. AssemblyLift is an open platform which allows you to quickly develop high-performance serverless applications. Service functions are written in the Rust programming language and compiled to WebAssembly. The AssemblyLift CLI takes care of compiling and deploying your code, as well as building and deploying all the needed infrastructure!

Normally what we've described above would be a pretty complicated set up (and a much longer article 😜). Luckily we can use AssemblyLift to do all the heavy work for us!

This article will walk through building and deploying a simple static site, served using AWS Lambda and API Gateway. To accomplish this we will use AssemblyLift, an open-source platform designed to quickly & easily accomplish such a task.

If you've never heard of it or just need a reminder, AssemblyLift is an open platform for developing cloud-native applications. At its core are the AssemblyLift Runtime and the AssemblyLift CLI. The runtime provides an environment for executing compiled WebAssembly (WASM) on infrastructure such as AWS Lambda, and is one of the more unique aspects of the platform which we'll dig into more below.

Service TOML definitions now support specifying authorizers by ID for each function. These map to API Gateway authorizers; currently only IAM and JWT are supported. See the pull request for examples.
