How we rebuilt Next.js with AI in one week One engineer used AI to rebuild Next.js on Vite in a week. vinext builds up to 4x faster, produces 57% smaller bundles, and deploys to Cloudflare Workers with a single command.

We built a new Next.js, on @vite.dev. Drop-in replacement. Builds 4x faster with @rolldown.rs.

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.

Are there any known solutions to setting up Claude Code authentication against a subscription plan in a headless, ephemeral environment?

Is there anyway to write Cloudformation without writing Cloudformation? Or is the answer to just have Claude spit it out? I used goformation in the past and found it useful, but sadly it looks like it's dead: github.com/awslabs/gofo...

Now updated with our Python processor support. Just drop into an S3 bucket and pass their URIs via env.

Thanks to ClickHouse for inviting us to share this post. Had a lot of fun digging into performance benchmarking work again!

Datadog OTLP Intake Endpoint Datadog, the leading service for cloud-scale monitoring.

It's great to see Datadog adding agentless OTLP intake now, initially just with metrics and logs. Useful for one shot SDK integrations, but it's also interesting if it'll allow for smaller OTLP exporter only collector deployments in the future. docs.datadoghq.com/opentelemetr...

The glue in many of these cases are the bindings built on PyO3. We found it powerful enough to allow us to go from Rust->Python->Rust when building native Python processor integration for Rotel.

Rotel: Fast and Efficient OpenTelemetry Collection in Rust | Rotel Observability shouldn't be a resource hog, that’s why at the end of last year, we started an ambitious new project – Rotel. We’ve been excited to see the rise of OpenTelemetry as a vendor neutral stan...

The past 7 months @ramond.bsky.social and I have worked on the hypothesis that telemetry data requires a systems approach for high-perf, predictable and resource efficient collection at scale. We're excited to announce our progress so far and hope that the community can join us: dub.sh/A7sI0Tm

There's something satisfying about finding and digging out potatoes from the garden. Never know how many are down there and in what condition.

Rotel - High Performance, Resource Efficient OpenTelemetry Collector | Rotel High-performance, Resource Efficient OpenTelemetry Collector.

Had a great time sharing rotel.dev at #OpenO11ySummit + #OTelDay with @mike.heffner.io. Blown away by how many people had already heard of it and tried it.

β€œYeah we tried it and it was 8x faster than our existing solution”. We thought today was our first official announcement 🀣.

Google's truncating of the Github repo name in search results is not confusing at all.
