Any Cables #32: 2025 is over 🎅
December, 2025
Hey everyone! This is a last issue of our monthly (well, no longer) newsletter this year, 2026 is just around the corner. Happy holidays! Let your 2026 be reliable and predictable!
In this issue, we’ll cover all interesting stuff happened in the last few months.
News
Fizzy is a (kinda) open source Kanban-style task manager. All its real-time features are powered by Turbo Streams (and Page Refreshes). You can use a SaaS version or host it yourself (and, you can modify it: for example, migrate to AnyCable 😁).
Team ElectricSQL announced a new HTTP standard proposal—Durable Streams.
The core idea: streams are a first-class primitive that get their own URL. Each stream is an addressable, append-only log that clients can read from any position.
We at AnyCable have already started adopting the new spec, so stay tuned for the updates early next year!
