Time to wrap up the year, let’s look at some numbers 🤓 But before we do: thank you everyone for supporting Gleam's journey in 2025! Huge thank you to every contributor, sponsor, supporter, to all the Gleamlins and Gleam-curious people. You rock! ⭐

I sometimes make videos about Gleam. Head of Eng @ Medfin
I haven't posted any Gleam videos in a little bit, but that doesn't mean I haven't been doing anything at all! Try this one on for size 👀 youtu.be/JxvCtkTPd9g?...

"We’ve started using Gleam to orchestrate all of the background jobs that happen in our system. Gleam’s type system, along with classic BEAM goodness like supervision trees, has given us total confidence that our code will handle just about anything we throw at it" - @ihh.dev ⭐
I have once again been nerd-sniped by @lpil.uk into writing a Gleam package. This time, it's a lightweight, high-perf client for Redis-compatible databases, called Valkyrie! The library includes a connection pool, and has been tested against Redis, Valkey, KeyDB and Dragonfly.

I'm trying to watch Doctor Who but keep getting distracted by work. Caffeine is a bitch.
And now we're coming up to some @gleam.run with @ihh.dev ! Who basically youtubed himself into @gleam.run / the gleambassador! @codebeam.bsky.social Stockholm
Deploying to prod at 5pm on a Friday? Try 8pm on the Friday before I leave the country for @codebeam.bsky.social Lite Stockholm 😎
Hey folks, it's been a little while since I've released a video. Here's one talking about how to decode dynamic data in Gleam - a super important topic! Take a look 👀 youtu.be/JPGiHrtWJCg

Check out what we've been working on for the past little while!
🚀 Launch day 🚀 Rover now scans your PRs for risky changes, alerting you before they merge It catches issues like: * Performance bottlenecks * Broken API contracts * Code that “works” but doesn't match intended business logic
🔹Giacomo Cavalieri & Isaac Harris-Holt: Talks on #Gleam at Lambda Days 2025🔹 @giacomocavalieri.me dives into #Squirrel, a Gleam library for #type-safe #database access, while @ihh.dev explains how Gleam can simplify #backend architecture. 🎟️ Don't miss their talks on the Lambda Days agenda!
What happens when you fall into a new language by accident? @ihh.dev ’s journey into Gleam proves it might just be the best mistake you ever make. codebeamstockholm.com/talks/Jumpin...
When asked what they liked about Gleam, developers responded with: "It's very braindead" "Gleam is Haskell for normies" "The core team is very fasionable" "I don't have to configure TS" I think I've picked the right language
The Rover bot just stopped us from shipping a buggy feature to prod (again). You get: a better experience exploring your codebase graphs we get: to not waste another development cycle fixing it #devtools #softwaredevelopment #dev
Rover's own @ihh.dev takes us through how we implemented our own ReBAC auth system in our latest blog post Somehow, it's the least painful infra work we've ever done getrover.substack.com/p/how-we-rew... #devops #buildinpublic #dev
How we rewrote OpenFGA in pure Postgres
TL;DR: We rewrote parts of OpenFGA in pure Postgres to make it easier to keep our authorization system up-to-date with our main database.

If you're wondering where I've been over the last little while (and why there haven't been many videos), this is it!

Hey folks! It's time for a new video. Statically-typed languages are fantastic. A true blessing to society. But you're probably not using them properly. youtu.be/dMtZdPiMfb0?...
