Express.js 5.0 Released; Sort Of — After a long period of seeming to merely be on life support, work on Express picked up significantly earlier this year with a big plan to push ‘Express forward.’ The first fruit of this process is now beginning to appear with v5.0. Node 18 is now the minimum support version, there are error handling improvements, improvements to the project’s tooling, the introduction of a Threat Model, and updates to many of its dependencies.
Wesley Todd
💡 We say sort of because there’s no official release post yet, and over on the npm registry, 5.0 is still tagged as next, so take that into account when installing it.
WorkOS: The Modern Identity Platform for B2B SaaS — WorkOS is a modern identity platform for B2B SaaS, offering flexible and easy-to-use APIs to integrate SSO, SCIM, and RBAC in minutes instead of months.

IN BRIEF:
-
TypeScript 5.6 has been released with full support for iterator helpers, support for arbitrary module identifiers, a
--noUncheckedSideEffectImportsto import modules without importing any values from them, and better handling of CommonJS vs ES modules in Node. -
Cloudflare Workers has greatly improved its npm package support. The popular serverless platform now supports a lot more Node.js APIs.
-
pg-boss is a popular Postgres-based background job system for Node and the folks at Wasp interviewed its maintainer who shared more details on why it exists, how it works, and why pg-boss v10.0 is worth a look.
setImmediate() vs setTimeout() — setImmediate is considered deprecated in the browser space, but its different behavior still has a role to play in Node.
