Tinybench is a tiny and simple benchmarking library with no dependencies, but uses whatever precise timing capabilities are available. You can use it to benchmark whatever functions you want, specify how long or how many times to benchmark for, and get a variety of stats in return. Installing and Running bin Scripts is a deep dive into how the process works and the two approaches for installing packages offering such bin scripts. Virtual Capture the Flag 101 Workshop is an opportunity to learn how to solve Capture the Flag challenges and build the security skills and experience you need to compete in CTFs. Jazzer.js is a libFuzzer-based in-process fuzzer for Node apps and Heroku Reveals Roadmap, dropping free plans. 4 Ways to Minimize Your Dependencies looks at the various npm supply chain stories and the size of the node_modules folder and offers some suggestions. Test Analytics helps you monitor your tests and Detect Latency in Your Code Without Affecting Node App Performance. Uncino is a fast, tiny and solid hooks system, and jscythe is a proof of concept of a way to use Node’s inspector mechanism to run arbitrary JavaScript code. TestCafe v2.0.0 is a popular and long standing testing tool and Mercurius 10.5 is a GraphQL server on Fastify. graphql-request 5.0 is a minimal GraphQL client, Clinic.js 12.0 is a Node performance profiling suite, fastest-validator 1.15 is a fast data validation library, env-var 7.2 is for verification and sanitization for env variables, grammY 1.11 is a Telegram bot framework, Faker 7.5 generates massive amounts of fake data, Prisma 4.3 is a next-gen ORM for Node and TypeScript, Middy 3.3 is a Node middleware engine for AWS Lambda, and Dynamoose 3.0.2 is a modeling tool for DynamoDB.

Finally, this edition of the Newsletter also includes Job Opportunities at FiscalNote, Kano Computing, and JEDI Technologies. You can also create a profile on Hired to connect with hiring managers at growing startups and Fortune 500 companies.
