Hey everyone! We're experimenting with a new format for these newsletters, aiming for a monthly cadence.
This issue covers Deno 1.35, quick start templates on Deno Deploy, Fresh 1.2, the Deno KV hackathon, and more.

Simplified, performant web servers in Deno 1.35
Deno 1.35 stabilizes Deno.serve() so you can start a performant, secure web server in a single line:
Deno.serve(req => new Response("Hello world"));
This release also adds support for highly anticipated npm packages, such as aws-sdk, astro, puppeteer, redis, and more.
Quick start templates in Deno Deploy
Host your next project on Deno Deploy faster than ever with ready made templates such as a full-stack Fresh app, Oak web server, and more.
Fresh 1.2 comes with a full-time maintainer
With the added ability to state between islands, new limited npm support, and a Preact/server-side frameworks expert as a full-time maintainer, the future of Fresh is brighter than ever.
