What is SavvyCal?
SavvyCal layers contacts, host controls, and languages onto its booking core
SavvyCal keeps building team-and-admin capabilities on top of its link-based booking: booking on behalf of others, an expanded contacts layer, and multi-language pages. The most recent releases lean toward giving hosts tighter control over the mechanics of each booking, from buffer padding to locking last-minute changes.
What is Drizzle ORM?
Drizzle's v1.0 release candidates land a JIT mapper rework, new codecs, and a breaking casing API
Drizzle ORM is deep in its v1.0.0 release-candidate cycle, and the work is substantial. The rc.1 release reworked the query pipeline with opt-in JIT-compiled mappers and a new codec system — claiming a 25 to 30 percent latency reduction — added native Effect v4 support, a Netlify database driver, and a breaking redesign of the casing API. Subsequent RCs are porting those changes from PostgreSQL across to MySQL and SQLite, while the drizzle-kit side hardens migration commutativity and branch merging.

SavvyCal
5.0INFRA · APIS
SavvyCal layers contacts, host controls, and languages onto its booking core
◆ Current state
SavvyCal keeps building team-and-admin capabilities on top of its link-based booking: booking on behalf of others, an expanded contacts layer, and multi-language pages. The most recent releases lean toward giving hosts tighter control over the mechanics of each booking, from buffer padding to locking last-minute changes.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is drifting from a stateless scheduling utility toward a relationship layer plus operational control for hosts and assistants. Contacts now carry meeting history, and internationalization signals intent to reach beyond English-speaking users. The throughline is depth for power users, not net-new surfaces.
◆ Prediction
Expect the contacts layer to deepen — notes, tags, or tighter CRM hooks — and the language set to grow past English, French, and Dutch, continuing the relationship and international threads visible in recent entries.

Drizzle's v1.0 release candidates land a JIT mapper rework, new codecs, and a breaking casing API
◆ Current state
Drizzle ORM is deep in its v1.0.0 release-candidate cycle, and the work is substantial. The rc.1 release reworked the query pipeline with opt-in JIT-compiled mappers and a new codec system — claiming a 25 to 30 percent latency reduction — added native Effect v4 support, a Netlify database driver, and a breaking redesign of the casing API. Subsequent RCs are porting those changes from PostgreSQL across to MySQL and SQLite, while the drizzle-kit side hardens migration commutativity and branch merging.
◆ Where it's heading
The path to 1.0 is a methodical internals overhaul: prove the codec and mapper system on Postgres, then replicate it dialect by dialect (MySQL in rc.3, SQLite next), with matching Effect support to follow. Alongside, drizzle-kit is making the migration system safe under branching. Expect more RCs finishing the dialect rollout before a stable 1.0, with breaking changes front-loaded into this cycle.
◆ Prediction
Next releases will likely bring the SQLite rework and Effect support for MySQL and SQLite, mirroring the Postgres pattern, followed by a stable 1.0 once all dialects are aligned. Further breaking changes are most probable in the casing and RQB areas while the API settles.
