What’s up - happy Saturday. We made it! Here’s some stuff for you to check out during your morning coffee ☕

Quick programming note: Saturday Stuff was on hiatus in the month of March. It’s now back!

During that time - my email auto-unsubscriber, which removes inactive subscribers - ran and assumed correctly that many of you had not read the newsletter in over a month. Oops 😅 If you’re still here - thanks!

Since I’ve been off 𝕏, I’ve been heads-down on a few projects, including Cloudflare’s 2025 Developer Week. This issue of the newsletter is focused on that - enjoy!

#1

Cloudflare’s annual Developer Week took place last week. We announced a ton of new features, mostly oriented around making our Dev Platform world-class. Here’s a roundup of everything we announced:

Cloudflare’s new AutoRAG, one of my favorite ships from last week, automatically sets up a retrieval-augmented generation pipeline that takes files stored in an R2 bucket, indexes them, and makes them queryable inside of an LLM.

I published a video on our Cloudflare Developers channel that covers how it works:

It’s been over a month since I last wrote this newsletter, so I’d be remiss if I didn’t share the other video I was heads-down creating during that time: our new video guide to building AI Agents on Cloudflare. It covers our new agents framework, and shows how to deploy your first AI agent to Cloudflare Workers.

#4

We’re doing A LOT with Agents right now at Cloudflare. Our Agents framework highlighted in the above video is awesome. But if you want to understand the why around building AI agents, particularly on CF’s dev stack, this new landing page is neat:

#5

And now something a bit different, since there’s more than enough Dev Week content in this newsletter. My good buddy and coworker Yusuke Wada develops the incredible JavaScript framework Hono - like Express, but faster, with better DX, and available on all JS runtimes.

I’m very bullish on this new improvement to Cloudflare’s docs, which makes Hono a first-class citizen. If you haven’t tried Hono yet, it is a worthwhile investment to spend some time deploying your first app on it. It will undoubtedly be an important part of full-stack web apps over the next five years.
