Newsletter #88

Hello folks! It’s #TechThursday at #namshi

This week we held our first “lighting talks” session with a lot of new and useful insight on tools and libraries!

We also realease another oss library for nodejs mysql2-promise that is based on node-mysql2 and let you take advantage of client-side query prepare/escape, connection pooling and other features that are not in the node-mysql library. Thanks to Hossam for this!
