TypeScript 4.3 beta introduces separate write types on properties, an ‘override’ and the ‘–noImplicitOverride’ flag, template string type improvements and more.
When a method is marked with ‘override,’ TypeScript will always make sure that a method with the same name exists in the base class. If writing override on a method isn’t added, the new ‘-noImplicitOverride’ flag makes it an error to ‘override’ any method from a superclass unless one explicitly uses an override keyword.
The new version also expanded which elements in a class can be given #private #names to make them truly private at run-time.
Additional details on the beta are available here.

The Google Cloud Database Migration Service (DMS) supports MySQL and PostgreSQL migrations from on-premises and other clouds to Cloud SQL.
DMS helps with all of the steps that are needed for a successful database migration: database preparation documentation, secure connectivity setup, and migration validation built right into the flow. Whereas these functionalities have been available for MySQL, they’ve been expanded to PostgreSQL.

DMS also keeps your migrated data secure, supporting multiple methods of private connectivity between source and destination databases,” Shachar Guz, a product manager at Google wrote in a blog post.
