Node Weekly Issue 615 covers several notable releases and tools in the Node.js ecosystem. ArkType 2.2 introduces runtime-validated functions via type.fn, allowing TypeScript types to double as runtime validators. MikroORM 7 ('unchained') drops Knex in favor of Kysely, removes core dependencies, decouples from Node, adds a type-safe query builder, CTE support, and ships as a native ESM package. Also noted: better-sqlite3 12.7 release and a TimescaleDB promotion for analytics on Node apps.
