Microsoft Ends Windows Server 2008 Support on January 13, 2026

Microsoft has officially ceased all support for Windows Server 2008 as of January 13, 2026, including paid extended security updates. This end-of-life scenario poses significant security risks for organizations still using the outdated operating system, making them vulnerable to cyberattacks. The transition away from Windows Server 2008 requires careful planning, as many organizations face challenges in migrating legacy applications to modern systems. The lack of ongoing patches means that any new vulnerabilities will remain unaddressed, potentially leading to data breaches and compliance failures, particularly in regulated sectors like healthcare and finance. Microsoft has encouraged migration to Azure, offering incentives for early adopters, but the transition can be complex and costly. The end of support also affects global supply chains and compatibility with newer software applications. Organizations are advised to conduct audits of their software portfolios and consider hybrid environments to enhance flexibility and security.

Introducing PostgREST, a REST API for any PostgreSQL database written in Haskell

PostgREST is a web server developed in Haskell that converts PostgreSQL databases into RESTful APIs, offering a more efficient and standards-compliant alternative to manual CRUD programming. It achieves subsecond response times for up to 2000 requests per second, utilizing the Warp HTTP server and offloading tasks like JSON serialization and data validation to the database. Authentication is managed through JSON Web Tokens (JWT), with authorization based on database-defined roles. PostgREST avoids using Object Relational Mappers (ORMs) and encourages declarative constraints in databases to maintain data integrity. User feedback has been mostly positive, although some have expressed concerns about complexities in production environments.
