Build serverless functions in TypeScript, and then compile them to WebAssembly (Wasm) to be run in the cloud. This is a different model than the original Wasm design suggested, but it is proving to be a powerful concept. In this talk, we dive into the background of Wasm, then look at its broader applications before examining a novel way of building TypeScript code into a Wasm binary for execution in the cloud.

React Summit

React Summit 2023

While the technology goes further and further, web development tries to get closer to the user. CDNs and web servers are evolving, and they now offer us the possibility to execute server-side logic without depending on a unique data center located in a specific place in the world. Let’s present the concept of The Edge. We will see how it works, and we’ll talk about Edge Functions. We’ll discuss why the main hosting providers are introducing this technology, and why different JavaScript frameworks are modeling their approaches based on Edge computing.

Node Congress

Node Congress 2023

Building search into applications can be quite easy. This talk has been really fun for audiences because I often get audience members involved, often building out the code themselves, while they try to stump each other by naming the hardest things to find. The application is hosted in a Code Sandbox, so the audience takes the code home with them. Also, I can do the same presentation with movies, if the organizers prefer.

React Advanced

React Advanced Conference 2022

Scaling and maintaining applications can be a pain, especially when thinking of how to build to get the user experience to a level that you are proud of. With all these shifting parts to consider, it is important to abstract parts of your applications to global reliable services. In this talk, we will discuss some of the services that Cloudflare provides, and the role they play in improving the overall developer and user experience.

Node Congress 2022

Serverless technologies help us build better and more scalable applications in the cloud. It's a powerful paradigm that allows us to focus on creating business values and letting the cloud provider handle the undifferentiated heavy-liftings such as managing the underlying infrastructure. In this session, Yan Cui would take us through many of the lessons that he has learnt from running serverless workloads in production over the last five years, including development tips, testing and observability strategies, and much more. You can check the slides for Yan's talk <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cHZIF9E82VxEAd6s_YZ_d-UexuRWWsrX/view?usp=sharing">here</a>. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

GraphQL Galaxy

GraphQL Galaxy 2020

One of the benefits of GraphQL is that it enables a single entry point into any number of back end service or databases. More and more companies are adopting cloud technologies – leading to more jobs, more money, and more opportunities in cloud computing. When GraphQL is integrated with a cloud back end, enabling secure and direct access to dozens of databases and managed services, the limitations are endless. The problem is often that building out these implementations from scratch, and getting them right, is hard. In this talk, I’ll show how you can build cloud-based GraphQL back ends connecting to multiple databases (SQL and NoSQL), serverless functions, machine learning services, and microservices using TypeScript, AppSync, and AWS CDK – and do so in fewer lines of code than you’d expect. We’ll also look at how subscriptions, security, caching, and authentication are all handled, enabling you to build APIs that can simultaneously connect to tens of millions of clients at once to offer true real-time applications at scale. By the end of the talk, you should feel comfortable knowing that you can become a cloud engineer using an existing GraphQL skillset. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

JSNation Live

JSNation Live 2020

In this talk I’ll show how we can use a combination of GraphQL SDL along with a new DSL (GraphQL Transform) created the Amplify team to build out a full stack cloud application directly from your GraphQL schema. Using this GraphQL DSL, we’ll walk through how to model a Database, authorization rules, relationships, and custom access patterns. We’ll look at how to rapidly prototype an example application, and view some demos including a voting app capable of handling over 100,000 operations per second. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

React Summit Remote Edition

React Summit Remote Edition 2021

GraphQL is being used in some really interesting ways in parts of the developer ecosystem that you may be surprised to hear about, including Ethereum as well as for building comprehensive graphs from various third party APIs. In this talk, I'll show how to use a similar approach to build a cloud programming interface into AWS with GraphQL and why using this approach makes sense coming from a front end developer looking to leverage their existing skillset. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

DevOps.js

DevOps.js Conf 2024

In this talk we uncover what Declarative Infrastructure means, and how it can work in TypeScript to naturally express higher-level distributed systems concepts (such as backend services, API calls, database queries, Pub/Sub messaging, caching and more), through the power of static analysis and code generation.The outcome is a fully reimagined DevOps process, with automatic infrastructure provisioning and built-in observability, that deploys straight to your own cloud. Table of contents:- Introduction- Evolution of backend development, from servers to today's cloud-native world powered by DevOps and GitOps- What is Cloud Native, and how do we build modern backend applications? (Showing a microservices architecture powered by Express.js and Terraform)- What is Declarative Infrastructure? What does the space look like?- What problems does it solve compared to traditional DevOps practices?- How does it relate to Terraform/AWS CDK for infrastructure provisioning?- What are the downsides?- Building a Cloud Native backend with Declarative Infrastructure

JS Nation

JSNation 2023

Platformatic allows you to rapidly develop GraphQL and REST APIs with minimal effort. The best part is that it also allows you to unleash the full potential of Node.js and Fastify whenever you need to. You can fully customise a Platformatic application by writing your own additional features and plugins. In the workshop, we’ll cover both our Open Source modules and our Cloud offering:- Platformatic OSS (open-source software) — Tools and libraries for rapidly building robust applications with Node.js (https://oss.platformatic.dev/).- Platformatic Cloud (currently in beta) — Our hosting platform that includes features such as preview apps, built-in metrics and integration with your Git flow (https://platformatic.dev/).  In this workshop you'll learn how to develop APIs with Fastify and deploy them to the Platformatic Cloud.

Deploying React Native apps manually on a local machine can be complex. The differences between Android and iOS require developers to use specific tools and processes for each platform, including hardware requirements for iOS. Manual deployments also make it difficult to manage signing credentials, environment configurations, track releases, and to collaborate as a team. Appflow is the cloud mobile DevOps platform built by Ionic. Using a service like Appflow to build React Native apps not only provides access to powerful computing resources, it can simplify the deployment process by providing a centralized environment for managing and distributing your app to multiple platforms. This can save time and resources, enable collaboration, as well as improve the overall reliability and scalability of an app. In this workshop, you’ll deploy a React Native application for delivery to Android and iOS test devices using Appflow. You’ll also learn the steps for publishing to Google Play and Apple App Stores. No previous experience with deploying native applications is required, and you’ll come away with a deeper understanding of the mobile deployment process and best practices for how to use a cloud mobile DevOps platform to ship quickly at scale.

GraphQL Galaxy 2021

In this workshop we will build and deploy a full stack GraphQL application using Next.js, Neo4j, and Vercel. Using a knowledge graph of news articles we will first build a GraphQL API using Next.js API routes and the Neo4j GraphQL Library. Next, we focus on the front-end, exploring how to use GraphQL for data fetching with a Next.js application. Lastly, we explore how to add personalization and content recommendation in our GraphQL API to serve relevant articles to our users, then deploy our application to the cloud using Vercel and Neo4j Aura. Table of contents: - Next.js overview and getting started with Next.js - API Routes with Next.js &amp; building a GraphQL API - Using the Neo4j GraphQL Library - Working with Apollo Client and GraphQL data fetching in Next.js - Deploying with Vercel and Neo4j Aura <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

Node Congress 2021

The benefits of Node.js to develop real-time applications at scale are very well known. As Node.js architectures get more and more complex, visualization of your microservices-based architecture is crucial. However, the visualization of microservices is incredibly complex given the scale and the transactions across them. In this workshop, you will learn how to leverage service maps to instantly understand your architecture and troubleshoot any API error. We will write a simple Express application and explore best practices when using Express. Then, we’ll deploy the application on AWS, integrate the environment with Epsagon, and deep-dive into various features of the platform to enable immediate detection and fast troubleshooting of application errors. Goals: Visualizing your architecture, monitoring your applications, reducing your mean time to detection and recovery (MTTD and MTTR). Who should attend? DevOps, Engineers, Cloud Architects, IT, Software Developers, Solution Architects and Engineers, SREs, and anyone who is running microservice-based applications (Kubernetes, containers, serverless functions, and more) in the cloud.
