Every Monday we round up what shipped, what broke, and what the community built. This week: faster cold starts, a new region, and three community projects worth stealing from.
What shipped
Warm pools for Drift Functions — p95 cold start on Node 22 dropped from 410 ms to 160 ms in our own benchmarks.
New region: osl1 (Oslo) — available on every plan, selectable per project.
Preview comments now thread — replies nest, and resolving the parent resolves the thread.
From the community
@kwame.dev wrote up how they cut a 9-minute monorepo build to 2:40 with remote caching. @lena shipped an open-source status page template. Links are in the replies.
Questions about any of this? Reply here and someone from the team will pick it up.
Adding the Oslo latency numbers people asked for: median TTFB from Stockholm is 11 ms, from Berlin 24 ms. We will post the full table in the region docs this week.
Thanks for the shout-out! The status page template is MIT — PRs welcome, especially for the dark theme which is still a bit rough.
