"Webpack is one of the most depended on packages for front-end web development. With over 15 million monthly downloads on npm, it has been called the LLVM of the web and taken the JavaScript ecosystem by storm. However, few understand how webpack actually works and how to leverage some of its most powerful features: Custom Plugins! Join me as I walk you thro…

In recent years, JavaScript has grown considerably in size. In this talk, we’ll explore what features are still missing and what features may not be needed.

The overall amount of data that our servers have to handle continue to grow every year, as servers need to handle more and more traffic. As such, event sourcing patterns become more useful to handle the load. In this talk, I would like to talk about the different architecture patterns to implement event sourcing in your Node.js server and what architecture c…

One of the unique thing about the web is that no one owns the platform. There are multiple runtime environments available from different browser vendors, and new features are being added every day by different organizations. In this talk, we’ll look at how web platform features are proposed, developed, and tested. We’ll go over what kind of systems are in pl…

The stream-oriented architectures are still very rare in the node.js world. While reactive programming becomes a first-class citizen in the front-end applications, we don’t have too many materials on how to apply some of these concepts in our server-side apps. In this talk, Kamil will show you Nest framework as well as introduce you to the world of event-dri…

Did you ever feel like monkey patching your UI component? Adding too many if/else, handling a lot of complexity or hacking several non-desired side effects. Did you ever have a problem with double-clicking an async button? Fetching multiple times the same resource in a row? Did you have problems translating UX interfaces and mock-ups into your applications s…

Today we have the ability to write fully Functional-Reactive code in JavaScript, using RxJS. However, in our day-to-day life we often use RxJS alongside other libraries and patterns that make our life easier, but also distance us from pure Functional-Reactive Programming (FRP). What would an app that has been written completely in RxJS, and in-line with the …

"We start with a use case: why would you even want to move to a microfrontends architecture? You’ll learn the motivation, core concepts and principles behind microservices, how they can help your frontend team work more efficiently, and the tradeoffs that are normally involved when you try to apply them to single-page applications. Luckily, Docker and Kubern…

State management is a very important topic that brings a lot of new concepts and complexity in an application’s architecture. Instead of focusing only on the implementation details of a specific lib, this talk will explain several beneficial principles of state management at a high level. Based on this knowledge you will not only be able to understand patter…

"The advent of the cloud disrupted the software stack. The shift from the LAMP era to the cloud resulted in the shift of the software status quo. JavaScript is the biggest piece of the new, post-LAMP pie. It’s not only a front-end scripting language, but a software stack game changer that is equally powerful for both the front-end and back-end. The aim of th…

"How do you scale your codebase? We have more than 100 apps, 200 developers in 5 different time zones and more than 1 million lines of code in our frontend repository. With the codebase that big it’s vitally important to have shared patterns, principles and standards and it’s even more important to make sure everyone actually follows those standards. Learn a…

Web Development is exciting nowadays! We get new innovative technologies on a regular basis. While this is awesome it can also be overwhelming, especially when you have to maintain a product for the long term. Web Components and Micro Apps provide a remedy for this dilemma. They allow for decomposing a big solution into small self-contained parts that can be…

We will explore the benefits of DevOps process using Kubernetes, Docker, and Node.js. Showing how Docker and Node.js can work together, using the power of Kubernetes to release and to scale automatically stateless services. At this talk we will explore the key concepts and components to start working with Kubernetes, real scenarios and the differences betwee…

After years of advancements in the field, creating better practices, libraries, and frameworks, it’s only natural we look at reinventing the language we use for programming the frontend. This talk will be an exposition to various modern frontend programming languages you can use today.

The single-threaded nature of JavaScript can make handling lots of data or complex processing in your web application difficult to balance with providing a good user experience. Web Workers promise to help us find that balance and let us build fast and responsive applications even when doing heavy work, but the APIs for working with them leave much to be des…

We are all working towards one single goal. To create a best user experience. But most of the time we are wrong about what we think is good for the user. We usually have no idea if a feature is useful to the user until it is used by the customers. My talk is about letting the users help you understand what they need and if a particular feature is really usef…

With the advent of server-less architecture, front-end developers can now easily build and deploy their applications without a lot of overheads. This session aims to look at how to build a basic web application with serverless architecture and why it’s becoming more popular. The attendees should have previous experience with developing web applications with …

Why choose between fewer network requests and slower larger responses? This talk will show you how to optimize network requests to minimize round trips without slowing down critical data paths. We will cover rarely-used but widely supported features to efficiently load data to give your app the fastest possible rendering times.
