We had a lot of fun participating in MEGA LAUNCH WEEK.
Here's a recap of all the new features we announced during launchweek[0]. We hope you enjoy using them in your projects!
Day 1: Realtime goes GA
Realtime is now in general availability. Realtime is a new way to build real-time applications. It's a serverless database that automatically scales to millions of messages per second.
Day 2: Build extensions & Product Hunt launch
Build extensions allow you to use many system packages that don't usually work in a serverless environment, like Vercel.
Product Hunt Battle Royale
On day 2 we also launched Realtime on Product Hunt in a Battle Royale against Supabase and 21 other awesome dev tools. This was our first ever Product Hunt launch, and we finished the day just behind Supabase, and 4th overall.
We were absolutely blown away with the support and kind comments, we can't thank our awesome community enough. Thank you all!
Day 3: Trigger tasks from the frontend
You can now simplify your backend code by triggering tasks directly from your frontend applications.
Day 4: Batch processing
We rewrote our batches endpoint to handle batch sizes up to 500, along with 11 more improvements to make working with batches a lot easier.
Day 5: Run Engine 2.0 (alpha)
We announced our brand new run engine, currently in alpha. It features warm starts, multi-region workers, self-hosted workers, waitpoints and more.
