Olivier Mélois wrote a blog post about an expermental library he's just released, which allows using lots of Smithy4s features without codegeneration - by utilising Scala 3's metaprogramming. Blog: neander.tech/2024-04-27-spec… Code: github.com/neandertech/smith…

Enjoyed reading about how door dash mitigates local and distributed failures, give it a look! Aperture is new to me but... interesting! Turns out distrubuted systems are hard at scale... Who knew? 🤐
Learn what DoorDash does to improve its system resilience, given the inherent challenge of maintaining uptime despite partial outages or failures and why we are moving to a centralized methodology for reliability control. doordash.engineering/2023/03… #microservices

One of my coworkers just open sourced smithy4s, a code generation framework which can synthesize Http4s servers and clients from Smithy typed IDLs. github.com/disneystreaming/s… And not to bury the lede, but… it includes a pure Scala Cats Effect AWS SDK with Scala.js support!

Belated announcement, but… Thanks to the tireless work of Olivier Melois, the next release of Cats Effect 3 will have support for async/await syntax on all Async[F] types (including IO and even Resource). Hype!
