Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.
PostgreSQL
-
Neon Is Generally Available: Serverless Postgres
pg doesn't do too well with serverless, dead connections are left in the pool (or something)
-
NodeJS Security Best Practices
If you don't want to use ORM then there are some other packages as well! For PostgreSQL we have node-postgres

Drizzle is just as unready for prime-time as Prisma, what else is there?
(Instead of the following with pg.)

Nile, Serverless Postgres for Modern SaaS
So far every JS framework that uses https://node-postgres.com works great and so no reason to think Drizzle wouldn't.

We migrated to SQL. Our biggest learning? Don't use Prisma
One thing that keeps coming up is that SQL equals low productivity. I don't think this is true. I think the culprit is that most developers are using to heavily abstracting SQL using ORMs like Prisma that hides the database and SQL logic.
Since building a SQL generator (https://aihelperbot.com) as a side project, I have become much more proficient in SQL and even though I am also locked into Prisma, I use the `queryRaw` all the time to execute raw SQL queries. You can understand the code without knowing Prisma API. It is more performant. For more complex SQL queries, I use the SQL generator for initial suggestions and adapt if needed.
For the next projects I build I want to use the minimal Postgres client (https://github.com/brianc/node-postgres) combined with a lightweight migration library.
-
Using AI I have departed from ORM and embraced SQL
For newer projects I use the small Postgres client. Initially my leap into SQL was lead by AI but as I refreshed and relearned SQL, I now use a mixture of AI and self-written SQL queries. Something like this is just easier to have AI do the grunt work and then adjustment as needed.

Credentials Leak with Knex
This was a known issue for pg developers, and they managed to fix it a long time ago (at the pg level), but the knowledge of this problem didn't reach Knex maintainers.
-
Why SQL is right for Infrastructure Management
Integrate the database into your application itself with a postgres client library allowing your applications to make infrastructure changes (like provisioning sharded resources for a client that wants isolation, or using a more accurate forecasting model to pre-allocate more resources before the storm hits).

What is your development stack for 2023?
node-postgres (raw sql, without ORM)

Should you use jest as a testing library?
For example, Fastify removed the instanceof operatorfrom its codebase because it was causing problems for those developers that rely on jest as a testing framework.
- Is this a valid reason to give up node?
-
Next JS vs Nest JS
Both are frameworks but NextJs is for Forntend (web app in browser that use ReactJs under the hood) and NestJs is for Backend (server app running on a server witch use Express or Fastify). The only thing similar between them is the typed language in which they were written.

Building a modern gRPC-powered microservice using Node.js, Typescript, and Connect
In setting out to build this service, we wanted to use gRPC for its APIs. We’ve been reaching for REST when building APIs so far, primarily out of necessity, i.e., our public APIs needed auto-generated client SDKs and docs for developers working with them. We built those APIs with Fastify and Typebox but felt burned by a code-first approach to generating an OpenAPI spec. I’ll spare you the details and save that experience/learning for another article. Suffice it to say we love gRPC’s schema-first approach. This blog post summarizes our feelings well

How to Speed Up your Applications by Caching at the Edge with HarperDB
Custom Functions are powered by Fastify (a light-weight Node.js framework that claims to be faster than Express.js), so they’re extremely flexible.

Building a Node API with Fastify, esbuild, and Nx
We’ll be using Fastify as the framework of choice. Fastify is a fast (as the name implies) and low-overhead server in Node. It has grown in popularity, recently crossing the 1 million weekly download mark on npm. I’m a fan of Fastify’s plugin architecture, and the ecosystem is quite impressive, boasting over 250 core and community plugins.
