Fastify
I have been really busy updating a lot of the modules to the upcoming Fastify v4 release - this is helping prepare the release notes as you want to quickly identify what is breaking and how to update your applications. Check them out:
Node.js
My colleague Paolo Insogna had added to Node.js core the capability to close all idle connections (i.e. KeepAlive). This will enable to improve the “graceful shutdown” scenario significantly and it’s coming to you on Node.js v18! Check it out:
http: added closeAllConnections and closeIdleConnections to http.server by ShogunPanda · Pull Request #42812 · nodejs/node · GitHub
This PR introduces two new methods on http.Server and https.Server: closeAllConnections() and closeIdleConnections().

We made fetch happen in Node.js 18 and folks are opening up a huge amount of issues about it. We are slowing crunching them so to ensure that everything works for the ecosystem. As an example, we are making the global Undici Dispatcher truly global, so it’s shared between Node.js own fetch implementation and the undici module.
OpenSSL vulnerabilities disclosed on May 3rd are only marginally affecting Node.js, so we will release them as part of the normal release cadence. Read the full announcement.

I started coding primarily in JavaScript back in 2012. I had built a PHP app for a local business from the ground up, a basic CMS and website, and they decided that they wanted to rewrite it and add a bunch of features.

James Snell is coordinating an amazing effort to create some standards for Web APIs on the server. These are exciting times for working on JavaScript runtimes:
A Community Group for Web-interoperable JavaScript runtimes

Today, Cloudflare – in partnership with Vercel, Shopify, and individual core contributors to both Node.js and Deno – is announcing the establishment of a new Community Group focused on the interoperable implementation of standardized web APIs in non-web browser, JavaScript-based development environments.

Cloudflare Workers are going to be Open Source! I can’t wait to try out this technology and see how it can be made interoperable with Node.js!
The next chapter for Cloudflare Workers: open source
450,000 developers have used Cloudflare Workers since we launched. When we announced Cloudflare Workers nearly five years ago, we had no idea if we’d ever be in this position.
