At last year's Swiss Perl Workshop, I revealed Cro: a set of libraries for building web and other distributed systems in Perl 6. Lots has happened with Cro in the last year, and this session will provide an overview of that. Come and hear about:

* How we went from 2 contributors to more than 2 dozen in the first year
* How Cro gained support for HTTP middleware and authentication/authorization
* `Cro::OpenAPI::RoutesFromDefinition`, for conveniently implementing an OpenAPI service
* `Cro::HTTP::Test`, for testing HTTP services
* `Cro::WebApp`, for templating
* Some of the first production uses of Cro
* Deploying Cro applications in the cloud
