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 TypeScript-first ORM, and combined with tRPC and Zod validation, developers can build full-stack apps where types flow seamlessly across every layer.
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.
Step-by-step guide to building a beta signup page in Astro, deploying it on Vercel serverless, wiring the Mailjet API, setting environment variables, and debugging common integration issues.
The beginning of a new journey in coding, web development, and life experiences
Here is a sample of some basic Markdown syntax that can be used when writing Markdown content in Astro.
Real code snippets from actual projects. No abstractions, no fluff—just the raw implementation details that make things work. This means greater understanding, fewer mysteries, and complete insight into how things are built.
