| Robots, code and people | Kassandra Perch | 29m |
Argues that community rules matter as much as code and shows robotics is accessible: Johnny 5 runs on 35 platforms, old Arduinos and cheap boards power… | ||
| Server-less architecture in the wild | Nikhila Ravi | 23m |
A production project at D and Thomas Cook runs a serverless GraphQL backend on AWS Lambda behind API Gateway, storing playlists in S3 and calling The LastFM… | ||
| The disintermediated web | James Halliday | 20m |
Claims that browsers plus WebRTC and IndexedDB let peer-to-peer systems replace servers, cutting bandwidth bills and surviving offline; demos use… | ||
| Making ES6 happen with ChakraCore and Node | Christian Heilmann | 32m |
Claim that ChakraCore powers Node and breaks the V8 monoculture with a new, lightweight engine that already beats original Node performance in benchmarks and… | ||
| State of Node.js Core | Colin Ihrig | 27m |
Node core lays out a concrete LTS schedule with six‑month cadence and 18‑month support windows and V4 reaching ~26% market share then 53% native ES6 support… | ||
| It goes to eleven | Thomas Watson | 18m |
Argues that generating code at runtime and compiling it with new Function yields major speedups for repeated validation and queries, not just theoretical… | ||
| How I learned to stop worrying | Emily Rose | 17m |
Builds a tiny device: a button, an RGB LED, resistors and a particle Photon microcontroller, with C-like device code that sends JSON over MQTT to cloud streams… | ||
| Avoiding release paralysis | Andrew Martin | 40m |
Argues that real fixes are concrete: use Docker Compose to run production-like stacks locally, freeze deps with mpm shrink wrap, push through GitLab with its… | ||
| Kill all humans | Jan Lehnardt | 28m |
Claims that automated release and dependency chores eliminate human error and speed development by actually doing the work: semantic-release inspects commit… | ||
| SWIMming in the microservices ocean | Luca Maraschi | 28m |
Microservices become cooperative by combining a gossip membership (SWIM) with consistent hashing for application‑level sharding, not by more HTTP. Concrete… | ||
| Node.js that's hugely reliable, fast, and scalable | Matthew Clark | 31m |
BBC homepage runs entirely on Node serving about 7 million hits a day and a websocket service built with socket.io sustains 1.4 million websockets across… | ||
| Panel Discussion | Ed C. | 22m |
Panelists report real operational moves: media teams migrate stacks until 90% JavaScript across codebases, a fashion app ships as ~90% JavaScript, and a… | ||
| Highlights | 02m | |
Short montage of the conference opening that documents turnout and tone rather than deep technical content. Shows more speakers applied than expected… | ||
