You draw a little guy on your phone, a pig in a hat, and seconds later it poofs onto a giant screen full of strangers' creatures. That's PIGCon Plaza, built on Miren for zero dollars by @burlaprobot.bsky.social and the @pigsquad.com crew. 1,300 people came through. miren.dev/blog/drawing...

tired: a static AWS key in your env vars that works for anyone who finds it 👀 wired: every app gets a short-lived identity and proves who it is to AWS, no key stored 🥷 new in Miren 0.10 → miren.dev/blog/workloa...

"Just use Postgres for everything" is great advice. We didn't take it. 😎 We're self-hosted, so every migration we ship, our users run across a whole fleet. Smeared SQL schemas? No thanks! Miren keeps its state as datoms on etcd. A new field? Just a new field. The story: miren.dev/blog/datoms-...

Also in v0.10: workload identity tokens (OIDC JWTs issued per-sandbox for service-to-service auth), log coalescing in miren logs -f, and automatic IP cleanup on service deletion. Full changelog: miren.md/changelog

Miren v0.10 ships today with the admin API: expose maintenance methods from your app over JSON-RPC, call them from miren admin. Your maintenance scripts become discoverable methods with auth, validation, and a full CLI — all handled by the platform. Blog post: miren.dev/blog/admin-api

We've been rethinking how our team works day-to-day now that AI agents are writing a lot of the code. Turns out the answer was hiding in the Agile playbook the whole time. @evanphx.dev wrote it up. miren.dev/blog/agile-in-the-age-of-ai

we started Miren because deployment hasn't gotten easier in a decade - and AI coding tools are only making the problem bigger curious how Miren stacks up in the age of AI? take a look: miren.dev/compare

New on the Blog: "Poke around our repos and you’ll find a CLAUDE.md ... sitting alongside a homepage that says “human-centric.” We don’t think that’s a contradiction, and we’d like to explain why." https://miren.dev/blog/surfboard-makers

Today’s the day! We’re so proud and excited to announce the Miren Developer Preview. We’ve been hard at work on a better deployment platform for over a year. We can’t wait for you to try it! Head over to miren.dev/developer-pr... to download it and chat with us in Discord.

T-1 day!

In 2025, the capacity of individual computers is amazing. As we build @miren.dev, we know the ability to self-host our solutions is critical. Whether it’s your laptop, a server under a desk, bare metal in the cloud, or virtual machines, you should have options without sacrificing features.

“Workflows over Technology” was probably the biggest lesson I learned at @hashicorp.com. People can get excited about specific tech, but it’s really how you use it day-to-day that matters.

I’ve been frustrated with how we write and manage software for years now. Next week, @miren.dev’s vision of a better way begins!

<comes up for air> Oh hey there folks! The Miren team (4 now!) is nearly ready for our first developer preview, coming next week. We can’t wait to show it to you!

📻 Join @evanphx.dev as he discusses with @robbyonrails.com the importance of confidence and clarity in coding over the pursuit of perfection. Don't miss it. 🎧 Listen here! buff.ly/JcJ606X
