@Xbow Our showcase traces are my favorite part. You can read actual traces of XBOW at work, and the things it can do have been really astonishing to me: CBC padding oracles, remotely debugging an exfiltration exploit on a compromised server, and more:

A few months ago, I left @Cloudflare to join a new startup. I really enjoyed working at Cloudflare, and there was lots more stuff I wanted to build, but this seemed like a very exciting opportunity I'd regret not taking. Introducing XBOW! ๐ŸŽ‰

I'm going to be speaking @NodeCongress in a few weeks to explain how this works. The organisers have kindly offered me a free ticket to give away. If you're interested in this, reply to this tweet with something you'd like to see added to the integration. I'll pick a winner soon.

If you were previously using Miniflare 2's testing environments, this new integration should allow you to upgrade to Miniflare 3. Read the migration guide here: https://t.co/u9lpo0SFq8. Given this, we'll be deprecating Miniflare 2 soon. ๐Ÿฅน

We built an initial prototype for this over a year ago, and it's been great to see everything come together since then. Special thanks to @sheremet_va for implementing Vitest's custom pools API, and @jasnell for building dynamic code execution primitives into the Workers runtime.

I'm proud to announce the release of the new Workers Vitest integration! This allows you to write unit & integration tests that run inside the Workers runtime. Tests run locally using Miniflare with their own isolated storage. Read the blog post below for details! โšก๏ธ

@Cloudflare Many developers (myself included) started on Windows, and I'm excited that the next generation of developers will have the same local development experience regardless of which platform they're on. This has been an ongoing project for a while, and I'm glad it's now released.

The @Cloudflare Workers runtime, workerd, now supports Windows natively! ๐Ÿ˜ƒThis means you can use `wrangler dev --experimental-local` and Miniflare 3 on Windows without Docker or WSL. Check out https://t.co/aFPTT1BF0l for more details.

Be sure not to miss our own @_mrbbot's talk at the TypeScript London Meetup! His talk will cover a deep-dive of how Cloudflare Workers' runtime automatically generates TypeScript definitions. See you tomorrow at 17:30 PM at Cloudflare's London office. https://t.co/oR3QuRlSdQ

๐Ÿ˜ฑ I'm so excited! Most Miniflare issues are behaviour mismatches, but this will allow Miniflare to evolve so it runs your code exactly as deployed. Wrangler 2 currently has remote and local modes, but we should unify these. Iโ€™ll be joining the team soon to help build this.

Checkout the migration guide ( https://t.co/hUeizqNkD7) if you're already using Miniflare 1. I'm going to be on Cloudflare TV in a couple hours (4PM GMT/10AM CT/8AM PT) with @ashconpartovi to talk through the new features and Miniflare's history: https://t.co/0BD70gkFYt ๐Ÿ“บ
