SESSION + Live Q&A

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 better.

This talk uncovers the process of architecting the new npmjs.com website, and examines how the changing landscape of development tooling has shaped it throughout its lifetime. It will also address the challenges tools must address in the near-future, and how we hope our experience building the new npmjs.com website can help the wider community.

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...
