import { getCollection } from 'astro:content';
// Fetch all blog posts at build time
const posts = await getCollection('blog');
const latest = posts.sort(
(a, b) => b.data.pubDate - a.data.pubDate
).slice(0, 5);

<div class="grid gap-6">
{latest.map((post) => (
<a href={`/blog/${post.slug}`}>
<h3>{post.data.title}</h3>
<p>{post.data.description}</p>

The trend toward end-to-end type safety from database to frontend is accelerating. Drizzle ORM has surged in popularity as a lightweight Prisma alternative, tRPC eliminates API contracts, and Zod provides runtime validation — together forming a modern type-safe stack that developers are rapidly adopting.
Bun has reached stable maturity and is challenging Node.js as a JavaScript runtime, bundler, test runner, and package manager all-in-one. Developers are benchmarking Bun against Node.js and Deno, exploring its compatibility with existing npm ecosystems, and evaluating whether it's production-ready for their use cases. The competition is also pushing Node.js to innovate faster with native TypeScript support and improved performance.
