I've rewritten the database page on the Express website to modernize the content and recommend best practices. Hope you like it! If you use LLMs, they can also draw on this content as an official source. expressjs.com/en/guide/dat...

We’ve revamped the webpack-dev-server overlay. Hope you like it!

webpack 5.112 is here! 📦✨ 🔍 Debug imports by their original names 🎨 Find the right CSS for SSR 🧩 Combine exports from multiple entry modules 🤝 Fine-tune Module Federation sharing …and more. Explore what’s new 👇 webpack.js.org/blog/2026-10...

Finally, almost a year after I opened the PR, the _http modules in Node.js are deprecated! Now we’re just one small step away from having only public, documented modules in Node.js. github.com/nodejs/node/...

Since AI became a bigger part of my life, especially in coding, I’ve felt more uncertain and tired. Development feels so different from when I joined Express and started my open-source journey just over two years ago

webpack 5.110.0 🎉 ⚡ New performance hints suite 🎨 Native CSS is the way forward — css-loader, style-loader & mini-css-extract-plugin deprecated 🗜️ Built-in CSS & HTML minification 📦 nodeModules externals preset 🌳 Better tree shaking & scope hoisting webpack.js.org/blog/2026-08...

Thanks, Google, for the free year of Google One and, consequently, Gemini, just for being a student.

Thanks, codemod.com, for the sponsorship on GitHub. I really appreciate it! :) github.com/sponsors/bjo...

It’s been two great years being active in Express. Now it’s time to step back and focus on other projects :) I’m not leaving the project entirely, but I am stepping away from what the Triage role entailed. github.com/expressjs/di...

Well, I guess I have to unsubscribe from some repos because the amount of notifications has become inhumane, and I just don't have the time anymore :(

Maintaining documentation is also important, and it can even take more time than maintaining the code.

Well, tomorrow is my last day of vacation. I'm going to dedicate it to Express. It was a great vacation, full of OSS work 😂. But hey, I learned a lot.

Something I've been working on for the past few days is making webpack's HMR avoid recompiling the entire project and instead only rebuild the affected parts. That should make development mode significantly faster. github.com/webpack/webp...

Hey! Do you happen to have a large webpack-based project? I'd love to benchmark it and see how the performance improvements we've made over the last few minor releases hold up. The next release should have an even bigger impact. 🚀

What a night

It's ironic that, with each passing day, I question more and more why i contribute to Express 🫠

Officially part of the webpack core now! 🙂 github.com/webpack/webp...

🎉 WOW! Webpack 5.109 is now available 🤯 ✨ Zero-config support for CSS, HTML, TS, and WASM 🎯 `import.meta.glob` and `import.meta.resolve` ⚡ CommonJS module concatenation 📊 Built-in progress bar Learn more: webpack.js.org/blog/2026-07...

Haha, writing the webpack blog posts always teaches me something new. I keep discovering things I didn't even know were possible in JavaScript.

I've been spending days building a complete mental model for how Express could support both QUIC and HTTP/1, while also making a gradual transition to the `fetch` server model, alongside major improvements to the Express router.

Haha, today I got an email from a random person about `iconv-lite` and an issue with Cloudflare that I apparently fixed. The question is... what issue did I fix for Cloudflare? 😆

hello there!

new platform, who dis? (it's us, webpack!) This is our only account here. You can tell it's actually us because the handle matches our domain (webpack.js.org). anything else claiming to be webpack isn't official.

Did you know that, according to the HTTP specification, you can send the NEL (0x85) line separator in header values, even though other line separators such as \n are not allowed?

I love Claude's code review feature. It's really useful.

I love the new `https://github.com/pulls/inbox` view. It really helps me see just how many PRs I've piled up. 😅

That's right. I haven't released raw-body@4 yet because I'm making sure there aren't any performance regressions

in the next major version of raw-body, there will be support for Web Streams. This will allow body-parser and other implementations to use it as middleware in environments where Web Streams are preferred over Node.js streams. github.com/stream-utils...

🚀 webpack-dev-server v6.0.0 is here! ✨ Native ES modules (ESM + CJS builds) 🔌 Can now be used as a webpack plugin ⚡ Express 5 + http-proxy-middleware v4 🟢 Node.js >= 22.15.0 Release notes 👇 github.com/webpack/webp...

I feel like such a nerd trying to optimize UTF-7 for long strings.

`cookie` is now ESM-only, which means the `cookie-es` fork is no longer really necessary. It's also faster now. These are some of the changes coming in Express 6. github.com/jshttp/cooki...

Haha, I never thought I’d end up carefully reading RFCs to solve issues and, especially, to analyze vulnerabilities in Express.

Storing the password for one password manager inside another password manager.

webpack is getting a new universal target: just write target: "universal" and your code runs in any ESM-capable environment (browser, Node, web workers, Electron, NW.js). github.com/webpack/webp...

🔒 New advisory: webpack-dev-server (CVE-2026-9595). A proxy with context / and ws: true intercepts the HMR WebSocket, leaking cookies to the backend. ✅ Patched in 5.2.5 github.com/webpack/webp...

I’m happy to announce that Express.js documentation has a new look! 🎉 This was a huge team effort with more than a year of work behind it. Thanks to everyone involved for the support and dedication that made this launch possible. expressjs.com/en/blog/2026...
