One last New Year's cheers! (say that 5 times fast)
🥂 for this upgrade to a popular #opensource library for working with AWS SQS. Our #sqsconsumer library includes support for #AWS SDK V3, FIFO queues, a #jest test suite, & more.

Our developer experience team is small but mighty. So mighty, in fact, that we released 7 SDKs in 2022. Learn about our secret weapon that helps us consistently put out quality code! https://t.co/pLb3QDURpi

When @Sishaar told me he upgraded a popular British package; I didn't see how it was possible.
Alas, he was talking about a new spin on a BBC repo for #sqsconsumer—our version supports #AWSSDK V3, has a @fbjest test suite, FIFO queue fixes & more.

11 #API trends for 2023 by @vyom_srivastava for @nordicapis.

Beyond being a vehicle for the description of an API, an API specification such as the OpenAPI specification can support various narratives. 🧵
