We're pumped to announce Payload 4.0 is now available in beta, and it includes the following goodies …
◾️ Cleaner, more capable admin UI based on @figma's design system
◾️ Hierarchies as a core primitive for folders, tags, nested content structures and tree-based organization
◾️ @tan_stack support via our new framework adapter pattern
◾️ Entirely renovated & powerful MCP plugin
But we're not done yet. Stay tuned for more coming this week. In the meantime, let it rip:

Published a new article today on running Payload CMS with MongoDB Atlas on Vercel.
It covers how to reduce MongoDB connection usage with smaller pools, Vercel’s attachDatabasePool, and Payload’s afterOpenConnection hook:

This could be a huge simplification and performance optimization for my Payload & Astro website stack!
Atomic deployments and Service Bindings instead of HTTP requests between the frontend and CMS would be great.
Will explore this...
Vercel Services gives your full stack app atomic deployment and rollback, a single preview URL, and a private network between services.
One Vercel project for your entire application ↓

Just shipped @payloadcms content-translator plugin v0.3 🎉
Rich text block-level elements are now translated as one unit using segment markers. So inline formatting stays aligned across locales. Plus more fixes!
Running a multi-locale payload setup? Give it a try 👇

I just published a new version of my @payloadcms image alt text plugin that adds a dashboard widget for alt text coverage.
It also comes with new endpoints that can be invoked by agents to generate or bulk generate alt texts.

Honestly, this is the most accurate diagram I've seen.
Waterfall: You plan for 18 months and deliver exactly what nobody needs anymore.
Agile: You deliver something usable at every step, but the CEO keeps asking, "Where's the car?"
AI: You get the car on day one. It has six wheels, the doors are on backwards, and it has a rocket launcher. You spend more time making it yours than actually "building"; it's shaping. owning. verifying. That's what the best AI developers do now. They don't build. They shape and own.

We’ve made all CDN serving on Vercel 10% faster (P75), while reducing memory by 15%.
Learn the behind the scenes of applying Bloom filters to this problem, while serving 1T monthly requests.

My current Claude Code flow that I love:
1. Give Claude Code a task
2. Set auto-accept edits to ON
3. Review its changes
4. Git-stage the good changes immediately
5. Repeat step 1 for adjustments
6. Git commit ✅
Staging lets me confidently commit. Unstaged means still refining
Tried Claude Code today, and wow, it's powerful!
But setting it up inside Cursor on Windows was trickier than I expected. To save you some time, I just wrote a step-by-step setup guide to set it up using WSL: jhb.software/en/articles/cla…

BIG DAY. @payloadcms has joined @figma!
We're about to take things up a notch.
So proud of what we've built, and I know where we're going... can't wait to share more.
Geat idea!
I would also block paths containing .env, which I frequently see in website logs.

"use client"/"use server" is not about the code in the file.
it's about the relationship between the file and the module that's importing it.
took me like a year to get this.

It's done. Now it’s your turn, @Oracle.
We’ve submitted a formal petition to cancel the JavaScript trademark: it is generic, Oracle has abandoned it, and Oracle committed fraud on the USPTO during the last trademark renewal.
Oracle has until January 4th to respond, or the case will go into default, which will result in the trademark being canceled.
It's time to #FreeJavaScript.
