Well, well, well, look at this fancy new client portal from Border0. They're all like, "Hey, check out our beautiful web interface that lets your users easily access all their servers and databases from anywhere!" Talk about effortless access, am I right?And they even designed the dashboard to be intuitive and pleasant. They've got these app cards with icons and details for each service. You've got indicators for SSH, databases, and even specific things like Postgres and MySQL. It's like having a digital Swiss Army knife, but without all the confusing tiny tools.Oh, and did I mention they have a dark mode? Finally, someone understands that not all of us want our eyeballs burned by bright white screens. Thank you, Border0, for considering the well-being of our retinas.But here's where it gets interesting. This client portal operates completely in your browser, thanks to the power of WebAssembly. It's like magic, or maybe Harry Potter-like wizardry. It sets up a WebSocket tunnel to Border0's infrastructure, and voila, you have a fully-functional Border0 client right in your browser. Who needs fancy installations anyway?And hold on to your hats, because they also created a web-based database client that supports both MySQL and PostgreSQL. It's like they took phpMyAdmin and gave it a modern makeover. Now you can browse your RDS databases, even if they're in a private VPC, all through your browser. No more need to fiddle with complicated setups or bother your IT department. Just a few clicks and you're diving into your data like a pro.If you think I'm making all this up, you can try it out yourself on their demo tenant. Just visit client.border0.com, log in with your Gmail or Microsoft account (because apparently, they have a specific taste in emails), and go wild exploring all the services. SSH, databases, HTTP services, they've got it all. It's like being a kid in a candy store, but instead of candy, it's servers. Yum!So, if you're tired of time-consuming logins and elusive resources, give Border0's new client portal a spin. It's like having a personal assistant for your infrastructure, right in your browser. And hey, it's even mobile-friendly, so you can troubleshoot while you shop for bookshelves at Ikea. Ah, multitasking at its finest.

API versioning is like choosing your breakfast cereal. You can go with the classic v1, v2, or get fancy with date-based versions. Just make sure upgrading your API doesn't break anything, or your clients might start throwing milk cartons at you. π₯£
