Driftline Weekly — October 5, 2026

We are funding the next cohort of open-source maintainers building for the web. Selected projects get platform credits, a direct line to our engineers, and a feature in the weekly roundup. Applications close November 20. The form asks for your repo, what you would do with three uninterrupted months,

Our yearly in-person event is back. One day, one track, and a long lunch. What to expect: talks from teams running agents in production, a live rebuild of a storefront on stage, and office hours with the people who build the platform. Community members get a free pass with code DRIFT-COMMUNITY-26. R

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.

Post what you shipped this month: a link, a screenshot, and one sentence on how it is built. Best three get featured in the weekly roundup.

Take a photo of the fridge, get a week of dinners and a shopping list for what is missing. Built over two weekends with Sketchpad for the UI and the Loom SDK for the vision step.

A custom rule "path equals /api/login" does not match /api/login?next=/. Is the path compared with or without the query?

A bad change shipped in one API route. Rolling back the whole deployment also reverts unrelated fixes. Can I roll back a single function?

All my routes respect s-maxage=300 except /products/[slug], which always shows x-drift-cache: MISS. Same handler code. What can make a single route uncacheable?

Anyone with a preview URL can open it. We share previews with clients and do not want them indexed or forwarded around.

Images started returning 402 Payment Required from the optimization endpoint today. I have about 1,100 unique product images. Is the 1,000 limit per month or lifetime?

I added shop.example-store.com to my project two days ago. The dashboard still says Invalid Configuration. My DNS has a CNAME pointing to cname.driftline-dns.net. dig shows it resolving correctly from my machine. Is there something else I need to do?

I have this rewrite in driftline.json: { "rewrites": [{ "source": "/api/:path*", "destination": "https://api.example-shop.dev/:path*" }] } Any request to /api/products now returns 508 Loop Detected. The external API is also hosted on Driftline, in a different team.

process.env.FEATURE_FLAGS_URL is defined in my API routes on preview deployments but is undefined in middleware.ts. Production is fine. The variable is set for Preview and Production in project settings.
