octokit.js VS wrangler-legacy

You can fetch different kinds of data with GitHub's API. There are two options: use the API directly or the Octokit.js library (this is the route GitHub recommends). I decided to use the API directly since the Octokit.js library included extra stuff I wouldn't need, which is an overkill for this use case.

The package @actions/github provides a hydrated Octokit.js client. Octokit.js is the SDK of GitHub and contains several subpackages like @octokit/rest and @octokit/graphql to interact with the REST or GraphQL API.

While sharing my project on Twitter, I got to know of Gregor Martynus, the maintainer of the JavaScript Octokit – GitHub's official JavaScript SDK and his project Octoherd. He tweeted a reply that it will be nice to have a GUI like Octokit-lite for Octoherd, and that sparked an inspiration for me ✨

I've also added an example using Octokit.js, GitHub's JS/TS client to the API.

In order for the project to be shipped as a service function, the node environment can not be used in any of the production code. Reviewing Probot source, one might see a dead end in that it uses require("dotenv").config(). However, its underlying framework, OctoKit does not come with any opinionated code in this regard.

Hey, I've been using Octokit in NestJS for interacting with GitHub's API and today I moved it out into a separate NPM package.

Recently, as a weekend hobby project, I created a Slack app development framework for Cloudflare Workers and Vercel Edge Functions.

Edge Runtime has become a buzzword in the technology landscape, driving dynamic, low-latency functions in platforms from AWS Lambda@Edge and Cloudflare Workers to Vercel Edge. Emphasizing its importance, Vercel recently changed "experimental-edge" to "edge", signaling official support in their popular Next.js framework.

It seems like the perfect usecase for Cloudflare Workers.

For this tutorial, I’ll use Cloudflare Workers as they’re really fast and easy to set up, but you can use pretty much any other serverless provider with support for JS.

Cloudflare has a wonderful serverless platform called Cloudflare Workers that allows you to write code without worrying about underlying hardware or software. Yesterday, they announced that Workers now have the ability to connect directly over TCP sockets. I want to use this feature to send an APRS packet to CWOP.

Sounds doable with Cloudflare Workers
