The 10 Hottest New Developer Tools in June 2018

Every week we send out the the newest tools added to StackShare in our Newsletter. Machine learning continued to be a trend, and we added an entire ML platform plus ML-backed testing. June also featured some exciting additions in analytics, serverless, and of course, front end. These are the tools added in June 2018 that were the most favorited, commented on, and/or added to Stacks.


1. Architect

Everyone loves a good serverless framework. This month's most popular new tool on StackShare was a new one built for creating your serverless AWS infrasctructure. The main draw to this framework is the dead-simple .arc manifest. Just a handful of lines of code will get you up and running.

Note: If you're looking for a serverless framework that's not bound to AWS, check out Serverless.

MLflow is a brand new open source platform built to manage the entire machine learning lifecycle. The motivation behind the project was that there are too many existing ML tools out there and too little convention.
