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...

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...
