Another weekend is approaching (Yay! 😊), but I still want to tell you about the latest news in the web dev world.

I have got some exciting updates from Netlify, Node.js, ChatGPT, and TanStack Query to cover. Netlify launched a new composable web platform that makes building dynamic sites faster and simpler. Node.js released version 21 with performance optimizations and new capabilities like WebSocket support. ChatGPT now integrates Dall-E 3 so you can generate custom images with just a text prompt. And TanStack Query's long-awaited version 5 massively improves its React data fetching API.

Netlify Composable Web Platform

Netlify just released a new composable web platform that's got developers pumped. It lets you build sites faster and ship web projects more efficiently by connecting all your CMSs and data sources into one unified content layer. The platform also optimizes and accelerates deployment with its front-end cloud solution. Non-developers can even create and publish content through the new intuitive visual editor. Basically, Netlify's composable architecture lets you build dynamic sites and scale them easily without getting locked into any one framework or vendor—this thing's future-proof and built for speed.

Node.js v21 makes fetch() and WebStreams stable, and adds glob pattern matching for running tests. Plus experimental flags let you flip between CommonJS and ES Modules more flexibly. With performance optimizations across streams, HTTP, and more - Node.js keeps getting faster. Overall v21 brings improved stability and better standard support.
