Preact Releases Signals
We've seen this framework forking happen a lot as good ideas are remixed like Aurelia via Angular, Derw via Elm, Restify via Express, and Spring Boot via Spring to name a few. It's interesting to me this obsession with performance that Preact has with their ability to provide a simple API. That said, I am in no way convinced this'll solve the architecture problem. Without at least guidance, or more importantly, a framework + docs on how to utilize Signals at scale, you'll just end up with a random mess. Still, it's awesome how far they've come, and it's neat to see them still innovating years later.

how to deploy a graphQL server with docker and fly

What is your current stack?
Is express still the go-to HTTP server? How are hapi and restify doing? Has koa ever really picked up? Is there any new cool stuff to watch out for (fastify, anyone)?

Ask HN: Is Express still "de-facto" for building Node back ends?
I tend to use hapi (https://hapi.dev) instead of Express if I need to write a quick backend for something these days.
Fastify looks nice too but I haven't used it.
Been burnt by full-stack frameworks in the past (e.g. Meteor) but they can be a good option for some.

Validate SvelteKit endpoints with Joi
Joi validator used to be part of hapi but then became a standalone library that you can use everywhere where validation is needed. So for example, here's how username validation can be done:
