In a previous blog post, we talked about why we are porting Turborepo, the high-performance build system for JavaScript and TypeScript, from Go to Rust. Now, let's talk about how. Today, our porting effort is in full swing, moving more and more code to Rust. But when we were starting out, we had to make sure that porting was feasible for us to accomplish. A migration from one language to another is no small task and there's a lot of research to do up front to ensure that the end goal is attainable. Here’s how we started the process, validated our current porting strategy, and made the call to port Turborepo to Rust. Read more Continue reading...

Svelte has made a name for itself in the world of web development frameworks, thanks to its unique approach of converting components into optimized JavaScript modules. This innovative way of rendering apps eliminates the overhead found in traditional frameworks, leading to more performant and efficient applications. With the release of SvelteKit 1.0, developers can leverage the power of fullstack Svelte without worrying about breaking changes. Furthermore, SvelteKit continues to evolve, offering a robust set of features and seamless integration with various deployment environments, including Vercel. Vercel, using framework-defined infrastructure (FDI), has embraced SvelteKit, recently adding support for per-route configuration for...

Have you ever seen a 404 for requests from old clients after a deployment? Or gotten a 500 error because the client didn’t know that a new server deployment changed an API? We're introducing a generic fix for this problem space. Vercel customers are deploying over 6 million times per month, making their businesses more successful one commit at a time. But since the dawn of the distributed computing age, each system deployment has introduced the risk of breakage: When client and server deployments aren’t perfectly in sync, and they won’t be, then calls between them can lead to unexpected behavior. We call this issue version skew. In the worst case, version skew can break your app, and in the best case, it leads to substantial extra...

The ability to process data as it streams has always been a fundamental concept in computer science. JavaScript developers had access to streaming through XMLHttpRequest, but it wasn't until 2015 that it was accessible natively through the Fetch API. Web streams provide a standardized way to continuously send or receive data asynchronously across network connections. They bring the power of streaming to the web, enabling developers to handle large data sets through "chunks", deal with congestion control (backpressure), and create highly efficient and responsive applications. Leveraging web streams in your web apps can enhance the performance and responsiveness of your UIs. The immediate data processing allows for real-time updates and...

We’re in the midst of the next big platform shift. Last generation we moved from server rooms to the cloud, and today we’re moving from the traditional, backend-oriented cloud to a new frontend cloud. The frontend cloud is characterized by performance: It enables both faster application development and faster end-user interactions. Each element is critical to success in today’s ultra-competitive software market. At Clerk, we build authentication for the frontend cloud. We saw the need arise as frameworks and hosts tailored to the frontend cloud grew in popularity, especially Next.js and Vercel. Legacy authentication tools were not built frontend-first, and their technical architecture usually undermines the goal of speeding up...
