I will present Commons Host, a static site hosting & CDN service. It is a 100% FOSS product built with new Node.js tools at every layer: core API, edge servers, CLI tooling, frontend bundling, etc. I was fortunate to contribute to the HTTP/2 implementation in Node.js as part of this effort. read less Some of the HTTP/2 specific features include: - Coalesced Connections: Solving the performance cost of 3rd party content in the browser. - Server Push: Using Manifests and Cache Digests to improve resource loading in the browser. - Shared Sessions: Proxy content efficiently using interleaved HTTP/2 streams over a shared session. Replaces the legacy HTTP/1 connection pool. The story I have to share covers both global and Asia-specific infrastructure shifts, and how I am using Node.js to build for this new environment. Server hardware moving from Intel to ARM. Leapfrogging Asian cities having wide coverage for Gbps FTTH sooner than the West. Deploying Node.js services in widely diverging socio-economic environments.
