Slackbots are awesome tools if you use Slack and want to automate some tasks or ease your workflow. However, managing your own server might be a bit of an overhead. That is why, we created this tutorial, enabling for serverless deployment of slackbots.
When developing a website or web app, nobody wants to spend hours of their time just on speed optimization. The problem is that a fast website is incredibly important and performance is often a deciding factor for its success. Web frameworks like Remix Run were created with the goal of optimizing web performance while keeping their configuration to a minimum ("zero-config"). Nowadays, there are dozens of frameworks available, that help you achieve high speeds.
Unfortunately, the best website load times are of little use to us unless the databases of our apps are lightning fast as well.
Today, we are announcing @upstash/redis v1.0.0.
@upstash/redis is the only connectionless (HTTP based) Redis client that is designed for serverless and compatible with Cloudflare Workers and fastly.
In this post, we will write a simple TODO app using SvelteKit and Serverless Redis (Upstash).
SvelteKit is a framework for building web applications of all sizes, with a beautiful development experience and flexible filesystem-based routing.
It has been some time since we released our very first version of Upstash Terraform Provider, which helped developers automate their Redis database management. Since then, we have worked on and advanced our products, even adding new ones to our arsenal!
Now, our provider v1.0.0 is publicly available in the terraform marketplace.
In this post, we will write a simple TODO app using Remix and Serverless Redis (Upstash).
Remix is a full stack web framework that lets you focus on the user interface and work back through web fundamentals to deliver a fast, slick, and resilient user experience.
Yesterday, Netlify announced a new feature called Netlify Graph. My colleague recently highlighted similar missing piece in the picture and Netlify made a good step towards a solution.
Basically Netlify Graph helps developers building GraphQL API calls for their web apps. After preparing GraphQL requests in Netlify Dashboard then you can inject the client code to your project with a single click.
If you are using Cloudflare Workers, Upstash Global Redis and Workers KV are probably your best options to keep your data. In this post, I will briefly compare them as a data store for your Cloudflare Workers functions.
User feedback is important to guide product decisions. We built a widget to help you get feedback from your users. It is a React component which calls Next.js API as its backend. The backend API simply sends the feedback data to Upstash Redis database. Also, you will be able to see and manage the submitted data in Upstash Console Integrations Page
When you add the component to your Next.js page, an icon will be displayed on bottom right corner. When clicked, feedback form will be visible. Check the demo to see how it works.
Next.js enables developers to build full stack applications with the Server Side Rendering capability. Vercel and Netlify help them to write the backend API with serverless functions. So the next question is what is the ideal database for Next.js apps. In this post, I will review the databases which are popular among the Next.js community. I will comment on how they fit the serverless model. Two things to check:
