Built on Kubernetes but hiding the cluster, it integrates **KEDA** (for event-driven scaling) and **Dapr** (for building blocks) natively.

Vue 2’s TypeScript support was… okay, but awkward. It often required class-based components or clunky decorators. Vue 3 was written in TypeScript from the ground up, and the integration is now seamless, especially with the Composition API. Defining Props In <script setup lang=”ts”>, you can use pure TypeScript interfaces to define props. Typing Emits Strictly […]
