Build Apps on Salesforce with Modern JavaScript

on YouTube ↗29m

" summary

Claim: modern JavaScript (front and back) runs natively on Salesforce so developers reuse skills instead of learning proprietary stacks. Demonstrations show a car-configurator PWA built with lightning web components, deployed to Heroku and Salesforce, a Node.js backend that generates PDFs and talks to Heroku Postgres, realtime data via websockets, and sync with Heroku connect. LWC is open source with ~165k package downloads and 20 million components migrated; upcoming Salesforce functions adds serverless Node/Java runtime.
