Cayley is an open-source graph inspired by the graph database behind Freebase and Google's Knowledge Graph.

Features 

• Community driven
• Written in Go
  • can be used as a Go library
• Easy to get running (3 or 4 commands)
• RESTful API
  • or a REPL if you prefer
• Built-in query editor and visualizer
• Multiple query languages:
  • Gizmo - a JavaScript, with a Gremlin-inspired* graph object.
  • GraphQL-inspired* query language.
  • (simplified) MQL, for Freebase fans
• Plays well with multiple backend stores:
  • KVs: Bolt, LevelDB
  • NoSQL: MongoDB, ElasticSearch, CouchDB/PouchDB
  • SQL: PostgreSQL, CockroachDB, MySQL
  • In-memory, ephemeral
• Modular design; easy to extend with new languages and backends
• Good test coverage
• Speed, where possible. 

Now let’s take a look at what’s in store for TypeScript 4.0!

Variadic Tuple Types
Labeled Tuple Elements
Class Property Inference from Constructors
Short-Circuiting Assignment Operators
unknown on catch Clauses
Custom JSX Factories
Speed Improvements in build mode with --noEmitOnError
--incremental with --noEmit
Editor Improvements
  /** @deprecated */ Support
  Partial Editing Mode at Startup
  Smarter Auto-Imports
Breaking Changes 

Pros and cons of Database identity
Nice to work with in URLs
Limiting, as they require a trip to the database, which precludes some patterns
Can be tricky to return IDs when inserting in some cases (EF Core etc solves this)
Can cause contention in high throughput scenarios. May make scaling out impossible

Angular CLI 1.1 is out and here are some notable new features:

• outputs smaller and faster bundles by default,
• now comes with a new welcome screen when creating a new application,
• has better support for serving with a different public URL, and
• now supports fixing generated code according to your linting preferences, e.g. use double-quotes instead of single quotes for strings.

Along with over 50 fixes! 

ReSharper gets a significant number of bug fixes (based on more than 260 requests) and a bunch of features and improvements 

PSScriptAnalyzer is a static code checker for PowerShell modules and scripts. PSScriptAnalyzer checks the quality of PowerShell code by running a set of rules. The rules are based on PowerShell best practices identified by PowerShell Team and the community. It generates DiagnosticResults (errors and warnings) to inform users about potential code defects and suggests possible solutions for improvements. 

We’re proud to announce the release of PowerShell 7.1, the latest major update to PowerShell 7. This release includes a number of improvements and fixes that build on top of the PowerShell 7.0 release in March and the recent GA release of .NET 5.  

Results and Impact
- Average Latency improved from 350ms to less than 250ms.
- CPU during peak time was [60–40%]. This dropped to [15–25%].
- AWS Cost Reduction by replacing Windows with Linux servers [by 45%]
- Apache benchmarking [89 vs. 57 req/s]: .NET Core — 89.68 requests / second. .NET Framework on Windows — 57.21 requests/second
- JMeter [Throughput — 142.9 vs. 60.5 per second]: .NET Core Solution: Hit 1000 requests on http://XXXX.redbus.pe/ , Throughput was 142.9/Sec. NET Framework on Windows: Hit 1000 requests on http://XXXX.redbus.pe/, Throughput was 60.5/Sec.
- Blazemeter [90% response time — 417ms vs. 1.09s]: .NET Core Solution: 90% Response time was 417ms. .NET Framework on Windows: 90% Response time was 1.09s.
