Shipping a new ESLint rule: no-backend-import-in-frontend

Catches accidental backend imports in your Inertia frontend files at lint time. Type imports still allowed, and you can whitelist shared paths.

One less runtime surprise 🙌

$// ❌ Error: Importing backend code in frontend files is not allowed import User from '#models/user' import { UserService } from '../../app/services/user_service' // ✅ Correct - type-only imports are allowed import type { User } from '#models/user' import type { UserService } from '../../app/services/user_service' // ✅ Correct - imports pointing to inertia/ are allowed import { Button } from '#components/button' // if #components/* -> ./inertia/components/* import { utils } from '../utils'$

We updated our session package so you can now store sessions in your database! 🔥

On top of that, we added session tagging across drivers (redis, database) with a new SessionCollection API to easily manage all sessions for a user.

docs.adonisjs.com/guides/basic...

import app from '@adonisjs/core/services/app'
import router from '@adonisjs/core/services/router'
import { SessionCollection } from '@adonisjs/session'

router.post('/logout-other-devices', async ({ auth, session, response }) => {
const user = auth.user!
const sessionCollection = await app.container.make(SessionCollection)

const sessions = await sessionCollection.tagged(String(user.id))

for (const s of sessions) {
if (s.id !== session.sessionId) {
await sessionCollection.destroy(s.id)
}
}

return response.redirect().back()
})
import app from '@adonisjs/core/services/app'
import router from '@adonisjs/core/services/router'
import { SessionCollection } from '@adonisjs/session'

router.post('/logout-other-devices', async ({ auth, session, response }) => {
const user = auth.user!
const sessionCollection = await app.container.make(SessionCollection)

const sessions = await sessionCollection.tagged(String(user.id))

for (const s of sessions) {
if (s.id !== session.sessionId) {
await sessionCollection.destroy(s.id)
}
}

return response.redirect().back()
})

One of many testimonials from developers trying AdonisJS for the first time.

Will you be next?

Discord Message with: "Adonis.js is probably the best full stack framework I worked with!

I’m just now starting to switch over from express."

A new alpha of the queue package is now available.

This one brings a JobPool system for proper concurrency and worker timeouts.

Redis now uses atomic Lua scripts for better performance. Also added a Knex adapter for SQL database support and smarter connection handling.

Benchmark results: @boringnode/queue vs BullMQ. Tests run with 100, 500, and 1000 jobs at concurrency 1, 5, and 10. Results show @boringnode/queue is up to 13.9% faster in most scenarios.

The first alpha of the new queue package is finally available.

This early release focuses on collecting feedback about the API design before moving further.

If you want to try it out and share your thoughts, now is the perfect time.

Just kicked off a new project with AdonisJS 7 and finally using all our codegen work in a real app feels insane.

Type-safety basically everywhere, the DX is wild.

"Can AdonisJS be deployed on AWS lambda?"

Yes, you can deploy @adonisjs.com on AWS Lambda, but just because you can doesn't necessarily mean you should.

Yes, you can deploy AdonisJS on AWS Lambda, but just because you can doesn't necessarily mean you should.

AWS Lambda is a Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platform designed for short-lived, stateless functions, not for long-running web servers. AdonisJS, like most full-stack frameworks, is meant to run as a persistent HTTP process, so you'd often be fighting against Lambda cold starts, timeouts, and stateless nature.

Otherwise, AdonisJS can be hosted anywhere Node.js runs: VPS, Docker, Kubernetes, Fly.io, Railway, Render, etc.
