The .NET Durable Execution SDK went GA yesterday. Took the opportunity to verify all four SDKs. Java v2.0.0 updated withRetry. C# v1.0.0 added stepSemantics and tenant isolation. Both now supported. durable-viz 0.6.1 is feature complete across all four runtimes. github.com/gunnargrosch...

Before you write a line of application code, the Sinch CLI can rent you a number, make a live call, send a message, and stream webhook logs from a local tunnel. New post walking through all of it. dev.to/gunnargrosch... builder.aws.com/content/3Gx8...
