🔔 AWS has announced the developer preview of the Lambda Durable Execution SDK for Java, enabling Java 17+ developers to build resilient, multi-step serverless applications without custom progress tracking. The SDK adds automatic checkpointing, wait primitives that suspend execution for up to a year, and durable futures for callback-based flows. Paused on-demand functions are not billed for duration, and the preview includes samples and guidance to get started.

🚀 vinext was built in one week by a single engineer guided by AI to reimplement the Next.js API on top of Vite. It functions as a near drop-in replacement—use vinext dev / vinext build / vinext deploy—to run App Router and Pages Router apps and deploy directly to Cloudflare Workers. Early benchmarks report up to 4.4x faster production builds and client bundles up to 57% smaller versus Next.js; the effort cost roughly $1,100 in tokens. The experimental open-source project includes extensive tests, ISR support, pluggable caching, and an optional Traffic-aware Pre-Rendering feature.
