Docker is dead?!? Podman - an alternative tool?
Another possibility to switch from Docker containers are the so-called Unikernels. These are briefly mentioned here for the sake of completeness, even though they currently have no significance in the Kubernetes context. An interesting blog post on the topic can be found on Hackernoon. It is an interesting construct that may one day find its way into the world of Kubernetes if containers can be replaced by unikernels. Currently, the use of unikernels would not be feasible in my opinion.

Bun - The One Tool for All Your JavaScript/Typescript Project's Needs?
NodeJS is by no means a slow runtime, it wouldn’t be so popular if it was. But compared to Bun, it’s slow. Bun was built from the ground up with speed in mind, using both JavascriptCore and Zig. The Bun team spent an enormous amount of time and energy trying to make Bun fast, including lots of profiling, benchmarking, and optimizations.

Bun 1.1
ntdll.dll!RtlUserThreadStart()
There are valid reasons to use APIs from NTDLL. Where I disagree with zig#1840 is the idea that it is always better to use NTDLL versions of API. Every other software ecosystem uses the standard Win32 APIs and diverging from that without a good reason seems like a good way to have unexpected behavior. One concrete example is most users and programmers expect Windows to redirect some file system paths when running on WOW64. But this is implemented in Kernel32, not ntdll.
