Promotion - Canary Deployment

a small, yellow songbird. a small yellow bird that sings and is often kept as a pet. What is Canary Deployment ? Its a technique for rolling out new features or changes to a small traffic or instance before releasing the update to the entire system.

5 Node.js Email Deliverability Controls — Product Event Notifications Setup That Survives

TL;DR: Treat every contact-form notification as an auditable state machine, not a successful API call. Verify a DKIM-aligned sending domain, consult a regional suppression set before enqueueing, assign an idempotency key, and poll the delivery interface until each attempt reaches a terminal state. For a healthtech support router, that evidence is what separates "accepted" from "handled."

Use two clocks. steamcharts lags the official Steam number by 1-3 hours. When they disagree hard, one is stale, and the Steam Community hub's live count settles which. 2.

Google Hotels prices per booking site (and a 90-day price calendar) as JSON

Disclosure: I build the Apify Actor used in this post (TubeText Labs). Google Hotels shows, for every hotel, what each booking site charges for your dates – Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com, the hotel's own site and many smaller agencies. There is no public API for those prices (Google's Hotel Prices API is for partners sending prices in , not for reading them). Here's how to get them as JSON, plus a 90-day price calendar for a single hotel. 1. Every hotel in a city, with prices...
