Yesterday, we launched Uber's new careers site built with @nextjs ISR & @umbraco CMS, hosted on @vercel

So far so good, all our Fortune 100 sites are currently hosted on Cloudflare workers, the speed, observability and logs on Vercel have massively improved! The experience for infra our development team is fantastic. Credit to @rauchg and @cramforce & team

Next step, upgrading to v16 and cache components

Anyone know a decent #Figma design system builder. To take a full suite of designs and make them reusable across different brands, all via variables, tag them below

@NVIDIAAIDev @openclaw Are you planning on making anything available for install on the Orin Nano or Thor hardware?

@DeRonin_ Do you find this is just way too slow or are you actually getting results. I tried kimi 2.5 and it runs forever

@tom_doerr This asks you for access to your chrome password vault!

Following on from my 'Uber Careers' site launch tweet, look how insanely cheap @vercel is to run a full @nextjs ISR site with 0.5M requests in the last 24hrs

[Roy Barber® @roybarberuk]

Everything is in the CMS. No strings of text in the application at all. So we need to fetch the translations and also the locale config, then cache them indefinitely until invalidated by a webhook and cacheTags. This is the same for Jobs and their translations

This looks perfect, will look to implement in our core app.

Hey Jan! Yes we use next-intl and kudos to you for such a great package. There’s been a bit of learning with ISR and the setRequestLocale(locale) being needed where. And linking locales and dictionary to Umbraco where the CMS user has the ability to add new locales. But otherwise being mostly server side it was a breeze.

@franbmacedo @nextjs @umbraco @vercel Thanks for your constant input. As mentioned you’re viewing a completely different website there!! I don’t work at Uber!

[Roy Barber® @roybarberuk]

@RemusBaltariu @nextjs @umbraco @vercel You’re a bot clearly!

[Roy Barber® @roybarberuk]

@franbmacedo @nextjs @umbraco @vercel That’s Ubers main domain we can’t control unfortunately

[Roy Barber® @roybarberuk]

@alex_mikhalev @nextjs @umbraco @vercel We’ve never used the site on desktop and I’ve no idea what @tailwindcss is!

[Roy Barber® @roybarberuk]

@allamgr @nextjs @umbraco @vercel That’s not the main domain we created

[Roy Barber® @roybarberuk]

@tonyspiro @nextjs @umbraco @vercel It’s been in our stack for the past 7 years and we have some of the contributing team as employees.

The UK government has gone from… Hey here’s £6k towards your electric car and free road tax to £190 a year road tax to now also charging you 3pence for every mile you drive. What an absolute joke! @elonmusk you seeing this: https://t.co/a03kTDWJ5f

@vercel_dev Can vouch, this really works!
