A Supercharge Tale

I’m making good progress on Supercharge Launch. And dang, I need to get the landing page out the door. During development, I provisioned a Node.js server on DigitalOcean and deployed a repository from GitHub to that server. Fully automated … well, I needed to manually run a setup script. Everything else was done by the platform. Comfort I’m coming! Links superchargejs.com Shameless Plug @marcuspoehlsSupercharge on GitHub Enjoy 🛵💨

I’ve published a new package: supercharge/filesystem. This filesystem package provides async methods to interact with the local filesystem, like moving files or copying files with ease. All methods are async, no more worrying about sync methods or callbacks for you. Async/await all the way! Links @supercharge/filesystem Shameless Plug @marcuspoehlsSupercharge on GitHub Enjoy 🛵💨

I’m currently working on a secret Supercharge project. It’s a project on simplifying server management for Node.js applications. If you like to avoid server maintenance as well, more details in the episode :) Links @supercharge/package-skeleton on GitHub@supercharge/collections@supercharge/strings Shameless Plug @marcuspoehlsSupercharge on GitHub Enjoy 🛵💨

I want your help with Supercharge. Do you want to contribute to open source? The "supercharge/strings" package has a handful of open issues. I’m calling you for contributions!

Finally, queues are available in the Supercharge framework. The new 1.0.0-beta7 release of the framework ships with first-class queue support. Enjoy!

I wrote the docs for the new @supercharge/strings package over the last weekend. And I couldn’t resist tagging the 1.0. Since then, I tagged a 1.1 and pushed the versions to NPM. Also, there’s a new package @supercharge/hapi-aws-lambda to provide a helping hand when going serverless with your hapi HTTP server.

I created a new Supercharge package this week: @supercharge/strings. This new strings package provides helpful utilities around JavaScript’s String class. For example, @supercharge/strings provides methods like .title() or .camelCase() to transform a given string into another format. It’s a handy utility when working with strings. You’ll like it!

I wanted to jump into Serverless for a long time. AWS Lambda looks really cool, the most intriguing parts are scalability and the removed server management. No more managing servers! This week I submitted a talk at the Magdeburg Developer Days on the topic of going serverless with Node.js monolith. This is my chance to jump heads down into serverless and toy around. I already extended the Supercharge framework to be compatible with Lamba and transforming events into requests. This is part...

I moved the CI pipeline for all packages in the Supercharge family from Travis CI to GitHub Actions. And holy moly! GitHub Actions are FAST!

I’m always starting a package lifecycle at a 1.0 release. I never hide behind 0.x release lines to blame the early stage for issues and missing features. I also share my TypeScript learnings from this week: static analysis and auto-completions in your editor. Enjoy!

This week I’m describing my ideas around queues in Supercharge and share implementation details. I’m super excited for first-class queuing support in Supercharge 🥳 Links hapi-request-utilities on GitHubNode.js tutorials on Future Studio Shameless Plug @marcuspoehlsSupercharge on GitHub Enjoy 🛵💨

Queues are coming to Supercharge! It’ll support three drivers: sync, sqs, faktory in the beginning. I started writing tests for the “sync” and “AWS SQS” queue drivers. Sync queues will fire jobs immediately when pushing them onto a queue. SQS queues are actual background queues requiring a background worker.

A new Supercharge package is coming to town: Streams. The Supercharge streams package is a wrapper around Node.js streams providing a convenient interface to use async/await with streams. I’m talking about open source and what it means for me in the second half of the show.

The Supercharge docs are complete, for now. With new features being added to the framework, I’ll surely extend the docs. I’ve also submitted the Supercharge docs to the Algolia DocSearch program. We’re in review and I hope to be approved soon. This week has been amazing in the Supercharge land. The collections package received dozens of pull requests adding 12 new methods!
