This Week in Effect - 2026-03-27

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Hi Effecters!

Welcome back to This Week In Effect (TWIE) - your weekly update of the latest developments in the Effect community and ecosystem.

Effect is a powerful TypeScript library that helps developers build complex, synchronous, and asynchronous programs. One key feature that sets Effect apart is how it leverages structured concurrency to provide features such as async cancellation and safe resource management, making it easier to build robust, scalable, and efficient programs.

To get started, below you’ll find links to our documentation as well as our guide for installing Effect. Enjoy!

Recent major updates:

Effect v4 Beta Release! 🚀
Effect AI SDK Release.
Durable workflows in TypeScript with @effect/workflow - currently in alpha.

Effect v4 Beta updates

Here are the main changes that landed in effect-smol.

HttpApi overhaul: Added a code generation module (HttpApi.gen), reworked HttpApiClient so urlBuilder uses schemas and client-shaped APIs, renamed the withResponse option to responseMode, added disableCodecs option to HttpClientEndpoint constructors, fixed security middleware cache reuse, and updated docs to reflect automatic codec coercion for HttpApiEndpoint. Also allowed middleware to accept error arrays and fixed the HttpApi.Any constraint for HttpApiClient.urlBuilder.
Schema improvements: Collapsed same-type literal branches into a single enum array in JSON Schema output, fixed compactEnums to support multi-value enum branches, renamed MakeOptions.disableValidation to disableChecks (now also applies constructor defaults when set), and fixed Struct utility return types (e.g. pick) to preserve the simplified shape instead of exposing raw Pick<T, K> types.
AI & streaming: Fixed missing finish parts in LanguageModel streaming, fixed tool output persistence in streamed chat history, fixed the OpenRouter client HTTP referer header name, and added Stream.timeoutOrElse.
PostgreSQL & runtime: Added a dedicated PG connection for LISTEN, switched to pg_notify instead of raw NOTIFY in PgClient, cleaned up sql-pg constructors and layers, fixed Unify.unify for Effect unions, flushed devtools queued messages on teardown, and tracked ManagedRuntime fibers in a scope.
Bug fixes & internals: Fixed Schedule.fixed immediate catch-up for long-running iterations, re-exported core ServiceMap references in effect/References, fixed Queue.takeN example, fixed metro bundler issues, allowed ServiceMap.Key to be covariant, and improved Prompt.select/multiSelect highlight text color.

You can follow the full changelog directly in the effect-smol repository.

Here are all the technical changes from the past week.

One of the best things we did early on @supermemory is that we built it in a completely composable way. every layer / provider of supermemory can be swapped out. Which means for a local version, we can just use local stuff and it will work perfectly!

@DhravyaShah

yessss in fact we have a working ./supermemory-server binary; about 100MB in size, but embeds everything including a db, models and other stuff for memory

Effect 3.20 Security Update

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Today we published a security advisory for Effect versions prior to 3.20.0: GHSA-38f7-945m-qr2g.

If your application uses Effect together with libraries that depend on Node.js AsyncLocalStorage, you should upgrade to effect@3.20.0 immediately.

A short history

This issue was reported to us by jamesone, who encountered the behavior in a real application while using Effect RPC together with Clerk.

Their report was instrumental in helping us understand the interaction between AsyncLocalStorage and the fiber scheduler, reproduce the issue reliably, and ship the fix in 3.20.0.

We are very grateful for the careful report, the debugging work behind it, and the time they spent helping us get to the bottom of the problem.

Who is affected?

Applications are affected when they combine:

effect < 3.20.0
concurrent request handling
libraries that rely on AsyncLocalStorage

This includes integrations such as Clerk, Next.js request APIs like cookies() and headers(), and other tooling that stores per-request data in AsyncLocalStorage.

What is the issue?

Under concurrent load, older Effect versions could resume fiber work under the wrong AsyncLocalStorage context.

That means request-local state could be lost or, in the worst case, read from another in-flight request. In practice, this can lead to issues like:

auth() returning the wrong user session
request headers or cookies resolving from the wrong request
telemetry and tracing context crossing request boundaries

In systems that use AsyncLocalStorage for authentication or authorization, this becomes a security issue.

It is also important to clarify that this is not directly exploitable in a deterministic way. The vulnerability does not give user X a reliable method to impersonate or target user Y on demand.

Instead, it manifests through timing and concurrency: under load, request context can be mixed in a way that appears random from the application’s point of view. That makes it dangerous precisely because it is intermittent, difficult to predict, and difficult to detect with confidence.

Why this can reproduce

This issue appears when two separate mechanisms are combined:

Node.js AsyncLocalStorage, which tracks context through async boundaries such as Promise.then(...) and setTimeout(...)
the Effect fiber scheduler, which cooperatively yields and later resumes fiber execution

By themselves, both features are valid. The problem is that they do not automatically understand each other.

Older Effect versions could place work from multiple fibers into the same scheduler drain when yielding cooperatively. When that happened, several fiber resumptions could run inside a single Promise.then(...) or setTimeout(...) callback.

That matters because AsyncLocalStorage associates its context with that async callback chain. If fibers from different requests are resumed from the same scheduler callback, the callback only has one AsyncLocalStorage context, not one per fiber.

As a result, request-local APIs built on AsyncLocalStorage can observe the wrong request state. This is why the issue tends to show up under concurrent traffic and why it can be difficult to notice in simpler local testing.

This is also why we do not think of it as a classical single-component bug. It is a vulnerability caused by the interaction between two independent features: Node’s async context propagation and Effect’s cooperative fiber scheduling.

Why this matters for Clerk and similar libraries

Libraries such as Clerk expose APIs that look request-local, but internally rely on AsyncLocalStorage to determine which request is currently active.

If an Effect fiber resumes with the wrong AsyncLocalStorage context, those APIs can observe the wrong request state. That is why code may appear correct in development, but fail under real concurrent production traffic.

The fix

The issue is fixed in effect@3.20.0.

To patch this, we changed the scheduler so that yielding work is no longer mixed across different fibers when it resumes via async callbacks like Promise.then(...) or setTimeout(...).

Instead of draining resumptions for multiple fibers inside the same scheduler callback, the scheduler now resumes them on a per-fiber basis. That preserves the correct async context boundary and prevents AsyncLocalStorage-backed libraries from seeing another fiber’s request state.

The fix was implemented in PR #6124.

If you use Clerk, Next.js App Router helpers, or any other AsyncLocalStorage-backed library together with Effect, upgrade now:

Terminal window

1
pnpm add effect@^3.20.0

Temporary workaround if you cannot upgrade immediately

As a short-term mitigation, read AsyncLocalStorage-backed values before entering the Effect runtime, then pass those values into your Effect program explicitly through headers, request context, or services.

This reduces exposure, but it is only a workaround. The recommended fix is to upgrade to 3.20.0.

Please update now

If your production system uses Effect with Clerk or similar libraries, treat this as a priority update.

Affected versions: <= 3.19.15
Patched version: >= 3.20.0
Advisory: GHSA-38f7-945m-qr2g
Fix: PR #6124

Update to effect@3.20.0 as soon as possible.

The v4 beta keeps moving fast. Here are the most notable changes that landed in effect-smol.

HTTP improvements: Added a static file server, expireCookie APIs for HTTP cookies, Headers.removeMany combinator, and improved HttpClient.withRateLimiter with automatic delay from retry-after headers. Also fixed HttpApiBuilder void responses incorrectly producing a non-empty body instead of Response.empty.
AI & OpenAI-compat: Added support for custom model/request properties in openai-compat, forwarded reasoning config, and added Model.BooleanSqlite schema for AI model integrations.
Schema & CLI: Added Atom.swr combinator, improved Schema.Unknown / Schema.ObjectKeyword handling in toCodecJson, fixed JSON Schema emission for unannotated Never index signatures, and made parent flag inheritance explicit in CLI via Command.withSharedFlags.
Bug fixes & internals: Fixed Effect.forkScoped Scope requirements, corrected SqlSchema findAll/findNonEmpty request input typing, exposed fallback parameter in Effect.catchTags, and added Scheduler.PreventSchedulerYield reference.

You can follow the full changelog directly in the effect-smol repository.

Effect v4 Beta

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT

After years of experimentation, community feedback, and iteration, Effect v4 is officially in beta. This is, by far, the most ambitious set of changes we have ever made to Effect and its ecosystem, and we’re excited to get it into your hands.

You can install the beta today:

Effect v4 is the culmination of years of feedback from the Effect community — from production users who hit real pain points, newcomers who found the ecosystem hard to navigate, and from folks who were interested in Effect but never took the plunge. This release is for all of you.

Faster runtime. Leaner bundles.

Let’s start with what you’ll feel immediately.

The core fiber runtime has been rewritten from scratch to have lower memory overhead, faster execution, and simpler internals. Every Effect application will benefit from these optimizations immediately.

Beyond the runtime, a substantial number of core modules have been rebuilt with performance as a primary design goal. The cumulative result: v4 is faster and lighter than v3 in every dimension.

Bundle size

One of the most common concerns about Effect — especially for frontend applications — has been bundle size.

Effect has always been tree-shakable, and in v4, many core modules have been rewritten from the ground up to be smaller and more efficient. A minimal program using Effect, Stream, and Schema drops from roughly 70 kB in v3 to about 20 kB in v4 — and individual use cases scale accordingly.

Your browser does not support the video tag.

Whether you’re pulling in just the core, adding streams, or using schema, the size of your Effect v4 applications will be significantly smaller than with Effect v3.

One version. One ecosystem.

In v3, each package was versioned independently:

effect@3.x
@effect/platform@0.x
@effect/sql@0.x
and so on

If you’ve ever debugged a version mismatch between Effect packages, you know the pain. In v4, that’s over. All Effect ecosystem packages share a single version number and are released together. When you see effect@4.0.0-beta.0, you know that @effect/sql-pg@4.0.0-beta.0 is the matching version. No guessing, no cross-referencing changelogs.

Some packages will receive a new version even when they contain no changes, but we believe this is a worthwhile tradeoff for simpler dependency management.

A consolidated core

Many previously separate packages have been consolidated into the core effect package.

Functionality that was spread across @effect/platform, @effect/rpc, @effect/cluster, and others now lives directly inside effect.

The packages that remain separate are platform-specific, provider-specific, or technology-specific implementations:

@effect/platform-* — platform packages
@effect/sql-* — SQL driver packages
@effect/ai-* — AI provider packages
@effect/opentelemetry — OpenTelemetry integration
@effect/atom-* — framework-specific atom bindings
@effect/vitest — testing utilities for Vitest

Your browser does not support the video tag.

The principle is simple: core abstractions live in effect. Separate packages provide the concrete implementations that connect those abstractions to specific runtimes, databases, APIs, and frameworks.

Unstable modules

Effect v4 introduces unstable modules — accessible via effect/unstable/* import paths.

In v3, delivering new functionality meant creating new packages, which you then had to discover, install, and keep in sync.

In v4, new capabilities ship inside the core effect package — but without committing to semver stability for APIs that are still evolving.

The contract is simple:

Modules under effect/unstable/* may receive breaking changes in minor releases
Modules outside unstable/ follow strict semver — no breaking changes until the next major version
As unstable modules mature, they graduate into the top-level effect/* namespace

v4 ships with 17 unstable modules covering AI, HTTP, Schema, SQL, RPC, CLI, workflows, clustering, and more.

The beta phase

The v4 codebase lives in the Effect-TS/effect-smol repository. Issues, pull requests, and discussions related to v4 should be directed there.

This is a beta. We’ll iterate quickly, and beta releases may include breaking changes. APIs will evolve as we incorporate real-world feedback and refine the design, and just like before, we will document changes in each release in the package changelog.

If you’re running Effect in production, v3 remains our recommended choice for now.

Once v4 does stabilize, it will be a long-term stable (LTS) release. We want major versions to be infrequent going forward, and we’ll take the time we need to get there.

Effect v3 going forward

Effect v3 will continue to receive active maintenance after v4 reaches stability. We’ll publish a maintenance schedule as v4 approaches its stable release.

One thing to note, however, is that we are introducing a feature freeze for v3: bug fixes and security patches will continue, but new features will be developed exclusively for v4.

Migrating from Effect v3

If you’re coming from Effect v3, the core programming model — Effect, Layer, Schema, Stream, and the rest — is the same. The changes are in how packages are organized, how modules are versioned, and in the details of specific APIs.

Two migration guides are available:

v3 to v4 Migration Guide — covers the overall transition
Schema v4 Migration Guide — covers the Schema rewrite in detail

We’re also building migration tooling: codemods for renamings, AI-assisted migration skills, and more. We prioritized getting the release into your hands over delaying the beta to build out migration tooling. These tools will follow.

Try it now

Port a project, a module, or even just a file, and tell us how it goes. When you hit a bug, a confusing API, a missing feature, or something that just doesn’t feel right, file an issue on effect-smol. Reproduction steps, code snippets, and descriptions of what you expected vs. what happened all help us move faster.

Not ready to migrate? Testing the beta against your existing codebase and reporting what breaks is just as valuable. Even “I tried to upgrade and here’s what didn’t work” gives us the signal we need.

Join the Effect Discord to ask questions and share your experience directly with the Effect team, and follow along as Effect v4 develops.

Thank you!

The feedback you’ve shared — in GitHub issues, Discord threads, conference hallways, and production codebases — has directly shaped the decisions behind v4. Many of these changes exist because someone in the community pointed out a rough edge, suggested a better approach, or shared how they were using Effect in the real world.

And none of it would have shipped without the core team, who have poured an extraordinary amount of work into this release. The scope of what’s been rewritten, rethought, and refined is enormous.

Thank you all, and Happy Effecting!

Happy New Year from the Effect Team

Happy New Year! ✨ As we step into 2026, here’s a quick look back at what shaped Effect in 2025.

We gathered at Effect Days in Italy, hosted community meetups across Europe and the US, and shipped major releases including the Effect AI SDK, Effect LSP, and early access to @effect/workflow. The team grew with Mattia Manzati and Kit Langton, and new learning resources like Visual Effect and Effect Solutions launched.

Adoption continued across production systems at OpenRouter, Warp, Polar, Salesforce DevTools, Vercel Domains, and within the 𝕏 (Twitter) codebase, among others. We shared progress through podcast episodes and live coding, and closed the year with a community gift from terminal.shop that we’re very grateful for.

For a deeper dive into what happened in 2025, check out our year-in-review blog post.

Here’s to building even more in 2026!

Effect 2025 - Year in Review

Thu, 01 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Here’s a look back at what shaped Effect in 2025.

Community & Events

Effect Days (🇮🇹 Italy) — the 3-day in-person conference dedicated to the Effect ecosystem and community, with 17 talks and 2 workshops.
Global meetups across Paris, Hamburg, Berlin, NYC, Vienna, San Francisco, Munich, Milan, Sardinia, and Sondrio. Subscribe to our community events calendar for updates on future events.
Effect Office Hours 🔥 — recurring live sessions with maintainers and the community.
Cause & Effect podcast episodes with developers using Effect in production:

Alongside events and media, the Effect Discord community remained a constant: thousands of developers discussing real production problems, sharing experiences, helping each other, and shaping the direction of the ecosystem day-to-day.

Team Growth

This year, Mattia Manzati and Kit Langton joined the team, strengthening both ecosystem tooling and learning content. 🎉

Ecosystem Releases

Effect AI SDK, bringing first-class abstractions for AI-native and agent-based systems
Developer tooling: Effect LSP, VS Code / Cursor Extension.
effect/workflow (alpha) — durable, orchestrated workflows built on Effect’s runtime
effect-atom — a reactive state management library for Effect.

Education & Learning

Visual Effect & Effect Solutions by Kit Langton.
Effect Institute launched and is currently in progress, with a focus on structured learning and long-term skill building. Join the dedicated channel on the Discord community to follow updates closely.
Docs search functionality substantially improved, thanks to a better search experience powered by Mixedbread
Lucas Barake’s course: Practical Effect

Adoption & Growth Milestones

Some of the companies adopting or publicly using Effect this year include OpenRouter, Warp, Edge & Node, Polar, Salesforce DevTools, T3 Chat, Vercel Domains, and Effect also landed inside the 𝕏 (Twitter) codebase.
Effect trended on GitHub 📈🚀, surpassed 6 million npm downloads per week, and crossed 12,000 GitHub stars — milestones we’re grateful for and that reflect sustained use.

Content & Media

Effect YouTube content series:

Featured across major platforms:

Mentioned in the Thoughtworks Technology Radar Vol 32 in the Languages and Framework section, with the Thoughtworks team highlighting that after using Effect, their team found no reason to go back.
Matt Pocock’s video on why Effect “captured his heart”
Build Production-Ready AI Agents with TypeScript Effect & Amazon Bedrock with James Ward & Maxwell Brown
devtools.fm with Maxwell Brown
This library changed my life, it had such a big Effect on me, Livestream with Kit Langton and TeeJ
Effect: the Good Parts, use workflow, and Vercel Domains w/ Dillon Mulroy & Swyx
Building AI applications with Effect + Netlify with Maxwell Brown

Last but not least:

We ended the year with a Christmas gift from the terminal.shop for the Effect community, which we’ll use to give back and support community-led initiatives.
And, of course… justfuckinguseeffect.dev — probably our most honest CTA to date. 😄

2026 will be about continuing the work: improving the core, expanding the ecosystem, and supporting production use.

I now have roughly 100 tests for all the different ways a plan can fail and then recover. @EffectTS_ makes this so damn easy to do, check it out: This `fail` utility can inject failures into resource providers, but only in the context of the passed in Effect.

Have been chipping away on Alchemy-effect's IaC engine while traveling and just landed huge improvements to durability and convergence. Everything except rollbacks are now implemented and it can recover from complicated crashes at any point while applying a plan.
