Every Tuesday · Free

The Stack Weekly, by email.

One email every Tuesday: what changed in cloud, edge and AI tech last week, the pain each thing fixes, what it's worth and how risky it is. Judged against the stack I build with, with the junk called junk.

What lands in your inbox

The 30-second version: Each item opens with a pain you already know, then the fix, who makes it, the value in one line and the risk. You know in seconds whether it's worth a click.
Links to the depth: Every item links to its full section on the site: use cases, gotchas, cost with and without, IaC support and the competitors.
The day after: Editions go live on Monday. The email follows on Tuesday, once the edition has had a day to be checked.
Nothing else: No ads, no sponsors, no lead-magnet sequence. If something we build is relevant, the edition says so, the same way it says everything else.

Who writes it

Nicolas Dao, founder of Cloudless Labs in Sydney: two decades building software, the last 15 years of them in the cloud. Every week, research agents scan around a hundred launches, changelogs and threads; I keep the handful worth your time, judge each one against The Stack, and say plainly what I skipped and why.
