Plus DynamoDB's scalability, how Google Cloud Run is great for side projects, and the status of HTTP/3.
StatusCode Weekly Covering the week's news in software development, ops, platforms, and tooling. Goodbye, Clean Code — Much as Donald Knuth warned us away from premature optimization, here React expert Dan Abramov tells us to beware of premature refactoring and de-duplication. A well put and interesting argument you might appreciate here. Dan Abramov | Try the Fastest CI/CD Solution for Free — Faster CI/CD means greater productivity for your team and a better experience for your users. Automate your CI/CD pipeline with Semaphore to release 2x faster than with other platforms. Semaphore 2.0 | Google to Phase Out User-Agent Strings in Chrome — User agent strings have been a part of the Web since (almost) the very beginning, but there's a growing movement to reduce their status. Chrome plans to shift to using Client Hints and Apple, Microsoft and Mozilla have shown interest in freezing or phasing out user agent strings too. Catalin Cimpanu | Benchmarking Different Top-Level Domain Names — I'd never thought about this before, but different TLDs have different top level DNS servers, each with different levels of performance. I'm not sure everyone will be rushing to register .biz names after seeing this, however.

Alain Galvan | Why is Caddy Better Than HAProxy? — As a huge haproxy fan, this initially pained me to read, but Matt Holt (the creator of Caddy, an HTTP/2 enabled Web server with automatic SSL deployment) makes some great arguments here. Reddit | The 'No Code' Delusion — "I think some of the "no code" tools are great. But I also think it (the no code movement) is wrong at heart." Alex Hudson | ▶ Why Developers Love Postgres — A just released, high level talk about why Postgres is a great database, including a section about how a department at Chevron migrated from Oracle to Postgres. Craig Kerstiens | The Beef Programming Language — A cross platform language-meets-IDE (a la Smalltalk, though the language is more Java meets C#-esque). The Beef Programming Language | AWS Backup Gets A Lot Better — AWS Backup is a fully managed, centralized backup service simplifying the management of EBS, RDS, and other AWS service backups. It now can backup entire EC2 instances, copy backups between regions, and more. Amazon Web Services | Windows Terminal Preview v0.8 Release — Windows Terminal continues to become more appealing and now includes search functionality, 'retro' effects, and numerous UI improvements.
