SESSION + Live Q&A

Enterprise Node.JS Apps in 2018

This talk is a candid and entertaining look at challenges facing node.js app developers in 2018. Reflecting on experiences building PayPal’s Send Money app we’ll look at how we respond to memory leaks, server crashes and bugs that only seem to reproduce on production. I’ll also address how to keep up with the ever-changing JavaScript ecosystem.

With those challenges as the backdrop this talk will focus on techniques and patterns we’ve grown to depend on including: Typed JavaScript, Node’s built-in inspector module, async/await, error handling best practices and building for change. We’re excited about how we’re using node at PayPal and hope you can learn from our experience and scale.

Reinventing npmjs.com

The npm website has some catching up to do. It began as the homepage for a fledgling open source project and it has grown to become the foremost resource for over 600,000 packages in the npm registry. It now needs to keep up with the expectations of modern users and evolve into something...

Observable JS Apps

Observability isn't just for backends. Client-side javascript applications are the original distributed systems software: real-time, heavily cached, single-paged, asynchronous, multi-domain, with polyglot persistence layers and cascading dependencies and always running massive amounts of JS. So...
