Pier #53 - Siren Affiliates, Hetzner, ParadeDB, Laravel, Framer & W3 Total Cache

Stefan from Ahoi.dev | The Pier #53 | June 21, 2024

Hi there,

Welcome to the 53rd issue of The Pier. Hetzner has recently released the new CX22, CX32, CX42 and CX52 server plans, which officially replace the current shared Intel® vCPU server plans. The new CX22 plan combines the best features of the two smallest deprecated server plans, offering the superior performance of the CX21 at the more attractive price of the CX11. The other three new server plans offer double the vCPUs and more attractive prices than their predecessors.

The wait is over! There’s finally a release date for LatePoint 5.0, the appointment booking and scheduling plugin for WordPress. Stay tuned for 24 June 2024.

On a personal note, Boris from Ahoi.dev has released ParadeDB Search for Laravel on GitHub and Packagist, which integrates the Postgres extension pg_search by ParadeDB and makes your Laravel models searchable (see Twitter/X).

We would also like to welcome Siren Affiliates to The Port.

Here is a selection of the latest and greatest blog posts we published this week on Ahoi.dev. You will also find some interesting industry news, the latest directory listings on The Port, job openings, and deals. Enjoy!
