Big announcement 🚀 We just launched the N|Solid Extension in the IDE at #WebSummitVancouver 🇨🇦. For years, developers have been stuck in a broken workflow: leave the IDE → open dashboards → investigate production → return to code → guess at a fix. That context switching has become one of the biggest bottlenecks in the AI era. The N|Solid Extension in the IDE changes that by bringing live production telemetry and pre-commit validation directly into VS Code. ⚡ Live runtime telemetry in the IDE ⚡ AI-powered incident analysis ⚡ Pre-commit fix validation ⚡ One-click profiling & remediation No more disconnected dashboards. No more guessing. Production truth. Right where you code.

Today is our Day 2 at #WebSummitVancouver 🚀 Amazing conversations, shared ideas, and exciting discussions around the future of Node.js and developer tooling. A big moment for us today with the launch of the new N|Solid Extension in the IDE — bringing production insights directly into developers’ workflows. Try it here: marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName… Great to connect with so many people from the community 🙌🏼 #NodeJS #DeveloperExperience #Observability #VSCode

Excited to be at #WebSummitVancouver 🇨🇦🚀 We have a lot of exciting things 🛠️💻, surprises 🦍🎁, and ideas 💡 to share this week! Can’t wait to connect, learn, and meet amazing people from the community. #NodeJS #Observability #VSCode

Welcome to the first day of the second edition of #WebSummitVancouver! 🇨🇦

Now all supported Node.js versions can run TS natively via type stripping 🔥 nodejs.org/en/about/eol

Node.js 26.1.0 is out, with a new `node:ffi` module, `crypto.randomUUIDv7()`, and many more features and bug fixes. Full changelog and download links: nodejs.org/en/blog/releas…

We’re excited to be at #WebSummitVancouver next week 🇨🇦 especially because we have something big to announce 🎉 Live production runtime intelligence, directly into IDEs. Today, our CEO, @russwhitman, shares what this means — and what’s coming next for the future of observability in @nodejs. See you at Web Summit! The countdown is on 🥳 #NodeJS #Observability #FindTheMissingLink

Node.js v26 is here 🥳 - Temporal (enabled by default) - V8 14.6 - Undici 8 - New deprecations Also: the last release in the current cycle before Node.js 27 changes the strategy. We broke it down 👇🏼 nodesource.com/blog/nodejs-v2…

With v20 going EOL, all Node.js LTS versions can run TypeScript out of the box. There is no reason to keep using plain JavaScript for new projects.

Node.js v26.0.0 is out 💚 Temporal API enabled by default, V8 14.6, Undici 8, and key deprecations as we keep modernizing the platform. Check it out nodejs.org/en/blog/releas…

The 2026 Node.js London Collaboration Summit trip report is officially live! 🚀 We gathered 50+ contributors to discuss the biggest technical shifts coming to the runtime. Here’s what’s on the horizon: 🗓️ Versioning Change: Starting with v27, Node.js version numbers will align with the calendar year. 🌀 New Streams API: A more efficient, unified way to handle streams using modern async iterators. 💾 Node VFS: A proposal for a native Virtual File System (node:vfs) for better SEAs and testing. ⚖️ AI Governance: Evolving our processes to handle the rise of AI-generated code and security reports. Big thanks to Bloomberg for hosting! 🇬🇧 Check out the full recap and recordings here: nodejs.org/en/blog/events…

3 things about observability you probably didn’t know: 1️⃣ Monitoring = you know what to look for Observability = you discover what you didn’t know 2️⃣ More dashboards ≠ better debugging They often hide the real issue 3️⃣ Data isn’t the problem Context is We’ve been optimizing the wrong thing. See you in 7 days at #WebSummitVancouver! 👀 Let’s talk observability, AI, and a few surprises… who’s going?

Node.js 20 is EOL ⚠️ Check this now: $ node -v $ npx is-my-node-vulnerable Still on 20? You're running unsupported software. In production… that’s a risk 👇🏼 🎬 youtu.be/F6fmzFIYDIs 🚀 nodesource.com/upgrade

As we get closer to #WebSummitVancouver… Today, @brycebaril — Node.js expert — shares a real debugging frustration: IDE → dashboards → logs → back again… just to understand one issue. Too much context switching. See you there 🇨🇦 #NodeJS #DevTools #Observability #AI

DevOps isn’t dead. It’s shifting left. @russwhitman shares how observability, security, and performance are moving into the dev workflow. Less dashboards. More context. Read ↓ nodesource.com/blog/devops-sh…

Today is a historic day for JavaScript! The Temporal API is now available in Node.js. Finally, a proper API for working with dates. Goodbye new Date("2026-04-28") Hello Temporal.PlainDate.from("2026-04-28") ✓ No more weird timezone issues ✓ Add days, months, and years without headaches ✓ Say goodbye to many Date-related bugs

While part of our team is working on the official report of the Node.js collaborator summit, I've published a veeeery short summary of it blog.rafaelgss.dev/nodejs-collabo…

Are dashboards enough for debugging in 2026? They show spikes, errors, latency. But they don’t show what’s actually happening in your code. No context. No direct path to a fix. That’s why you still jump between tools to figure things out. The shift is clear: less dashboards, more runtime-level context. Are dashboards still enough? #DeathOfTheDashboard

💡 Tip: Zero overhead isn’t a feature. It’s the baseline. If your observability adds: • CPU cost • sampling • context switching You’re measuring a distorted system. Good observability doesn’t interfere. It reveals. #ZeroOverhead #NoContextSwitch #NodeJS #TheMissingLink
