A Fastify Tale of Shapes - Matteo Collina, NearForm
JW Grand Ballroom 1

Speakers: Matteo Collina
In my journey through nodeland, I went into the woods. After a nice stroll, I started seeing V8 shapes everywhere. They led into a dark cave and there was a new one every time I turned my head. My mind became megamorphic. What's a V8 shape? Why does it matter? Are there any problems if we created many? Could we reduce the overhead by keeping the shapes constants? This is the story of Fastify v4 on how I optimised the throughput by 10% by ensuring that all requests were created with the same shapes.

All the Open Source Faces - Paloma Andrade De Oliveira, Sauce Labs
Virtual - On Demand

Speakers: Paloma Andrade De Oliveira
For some, open source is only a technical definition about code source that is open to copy, modify and distribute. But open source is not a verb nor one thing, it’s an approach to software development, a workflow, a philosophy, an ecosystem formed by code and non-code. Much more than having a code publicly available, its value lies in the community surrounding it.

In this talk I’ll bring several faces of how open source can be interpreted, considering the Latin American and European contexts, so that we can have more informed conversations and reflections on the current state of open source.

The free interpretation about what open source is can give rise to an imbalance in the ecosystem, derived from exploitative systems that do not consider the humans behind the code nor its needs. Human factors should be considered by design.

Creating SQSLite - My Journey into Open Source - Jenny Eckstein, LIfion by ADP
JW Grand Ballroom 1

Speakers: Jenny Eckstein
SQSlite allows us to create a mock of Simple Queue Service (SQS) in order to test interactions with AWS. SQSlite is a lightweight solution that can be installed as a node module, or work as a standalone command line interface (CLI) tool. You do not need to register, provide a credit card or worry about running over the free limit when using AWS for development. Developing software using AWS directly causes costs to soar. There are some solutions such as localstack, and other stand-alone applications that imitate a particular service. However, there was no available solution for SQS service. I will share SQSLite’s journey from research to implementation and final result, as well as my personal story of becoming an open-source contributor.

Debugging Your Way Through a Node.js Upgrade - Bethany Griggs, Red Hat
JW Grand Ballroom 1

Speakers: Bethany Griggs
New major versions of Node.js are often anticipated for all the new features and capabilities they will bring. Though, for many engineering teams upgrading to a new major version can be a daunting process. It’s not always easy to associate the change of behaviour in your application with an entry in the changelog. And it’s not always obvious if or how you need to amend your code to successfully upgrade. In this talk, I’ll share my experiences of helping teams upgrade to new Node.js versions, with some practical shortcuts and tips I’ve learned along the way.

ECMA-419: The ECMAScript Embedded Systems API and J5e - Donovan Buck, BrandExtract
JW Grand Ballroom 2

Speakers: Donovan Buck
ECMA-419 is a new specification describing a standard API for interfacing with hardware on embedded systems running JavaScript. This leads to the ability to interact with a vast universe of hardware peripherals such as LED's, motors, cameras, lidar, accelerometers, and more. In the past, controlling hardware with JavaScript meant a host server running node.js, or proprietary platforms running a subset of JavaScript. Now alongside ECMA-419 we have modern, ECMA-262 conformant engines running on humble microcontrollers like the ESP8266 or ESP32 with no need for a host server. This talk is an introduction to ECMA-419, JavaScript engines available for Microcontrollers, and J5e (Johnny-Five for embedded systems), a beginner-friendly IoT and robotics framework built upon ECMA-419.

Finding Stealthy Bots in Javascript Hide and Seek - Adam Abramov, DoubleVerify
JW Grand Ballroom 3

Speakers: Adam Abramov
Bot detection is important - we don’t want bots to trigger an advertising impression, fake user interactions, or access performance heavy features. When a new method of detection is discovered, some bots stop working; This incentivizes the survivors to evolve, changing themselves just a little bit to seem more and more like a real user, becoming harder and harder to detect. All of a sudden the issue is so big Twitter and Meta(Facebook) struggle to explain to congress why there’s bots on their platforms. This is one reason why Puppeteer Extra Stealth(PES) is so interesting - Google’s Puppeteer browser is the state of the art when it comes to browser automation, and PES is a headless browser that outsmarts most bot detection solutions. In this talk Adam will overview just how stealthy is PES, and despite that what unique methods have been used to identify it anyway.

Functional Web Apps - The Revenge of Dynamic Web Apps - Simon MacDonald, Begin
Virtual - On Demand

Speakers: Simon MacDonald
Building static websites with a Jamstack approach offers a fantastic solution for building massively available systems without the downsides of traditional dynamic stacks like Rails, Express or Wordpress. But there is a different way. In this talk you will learn how to build massively available dynamic web apps with pure cloud functions. Functional Web Apps (FWA) are built with pure cloud functions, sport a builtin database and deploy quickly and reliably. No more waiting on slow builds. No more trading off a dynamic end user experience by pre-rendering spinners. We will build markup on the fly with the determinism and reliability of immutable deployments leveraging the power and simplicity of the ultimate building block: pure cloud functions.

Incentivizing Good Community Citizenship with Contributor Leaderboards - Georg Link, Bitergia
Virtual - On Demand

Speakers: Georg Link
It takes a village to build open source software, or really a community of people with many different skills. Leaderboards can help us show the top-performing contributors and celebrate them, but they are double-edge swords in a community's toolbox. Tracking contributions can introduce an element of gamification, especially when contributors gain privileges in a community based on their level of contributions. As a positive outcome, leaderboards can increase participation and contributions which hopefully advances the community. In this session, we will discuss the use of leaderboards and alternative metrics we can use, with a brief introduction to leaderboards, how to implement them, and examples of successful and catastrophic uses. The insights shared in this talk come from conversations in the CHAOSS Community, which specializes in metrics for open source community health.

Keynote: Everybody is Responsible for Performance - Matteo Collina, Chief Software Architect, NearForm
JW Grand Ballroom 7 - 8

Speakers: Matteo Collina
It's 2030 and all companies are now digital but users are dissatisfied and keep loving a few brands. The best ones offer a seamless digital experience. The worst are sluggish and they wonder how they got there and how to improve. In short, nothing has changed since 2022.

As developers, we are struggling to satisfy all the non-functional requirements.
Our applications need to be easy to develop and even simpler to maintain. They need to be cheap to run and to have the capability to scale. They must be packed with new features. Multiple teams must work on them to deliver new features on a bi-weekly (or more frequent) basis. Unfortunately it is impossible to achieve those goals and tradeoffs are required… and they result in unusable, unmaintainable or poorly scalable applications.

There is another way. Small teams that develop applications built on the same language that runs on Web, Mobile, in the backend and on the edge. They can complement each other's skills to develop ground-breaking user experiences at a high velocity.

Keynote: Hacking the OSS Supply Chain - Melissa McKay, Developer Advocate, JFrog
JW Grand Ballroom 7 - 8

Speakers: Melissa McKay
Developers depend upon an ecosystem of open-source technologies that fuel innovation and decrease time to market. A typical business application is composed of 80% open source code, so what happens when the open source software supply chain gets hacked and thousands of enterprises are left exposed to potentially devastating security exploits. The SolarWinds hack is just the tip of the iceberg on a much larger security concern that spans the industry affecting all programming languages, platforms, and cloud services. In this keynote we will expose security holes and exploits in the open source ecosystem as well as propose a system for securing the software supply chain at a fundamental level.

Keynote: The Human API: Building Your Project's Second Source of Truth - Rachel Nabors, Principal Program Manager, Developer Education — Amazon AWS Amplify
JW Grand Ballroom 7 - 8

Speakers: Rachel Nabors
The only thing harder than writing scalable, usable code is teaching others how to wield it. As the sum of human knowledge continues to grow, so too do the challenges of teaching each other what we need to know not only to build toward the future but also to contribute to the tools of its construction. If only it were possible to transfer knowledge from one engineer directly into the minds of other engineers, like a human RAID! Rachel Lee Nabors loves building such mechanisms for knowledge transfer, from video guides to documentation to curricula. In this talk, they will discuss what doesn't work, what has worked on projects like React and React Native, and what can work for any other open source project today. Teaching is hard. But there are solid ways to approach knowledge transfer at scale.

Lightning Talk: Understanding How NativeScript Works Plus How to Add Your Own Flavor - Eduardo Arrial Speroni, Valor Software
JW Grand Ballroom 4

Speakers: Eduardo Arrial Speroni
NativeScript is made up of primarily 3 architectural details. 1) The native host platform, where each has its own unique lifecycle. 2) the Javascript side, where we all spend most of our time. and 3) The platform runtime which enables JavaScript development to enrich and celebrate the native host platform naturally. In this talk, Eduardo will go over how exactly these parts interact, where (and when!) your Javascript code lives in a native app, and how you can even bring your own flavor to NativeScript, just how the team has done with Angular and the community with Vue, React and Svelte, or even put NativeScript into other applications.

Publishing in JavaScript Ecosystem: How to Keep Everyone Happy? - Trivikram Kamat, Amazon
Virtual - On Demand

Speakers: Trivikram Kamat
JavaScript language has evolved over the last decade. It is used across various runtimes - like browser, Node.js, Deno, ReactNative, and it is also used in various module formats - like CommonJS, ECMAScript. When the artifacts are published in the JavaScript ecosystem - several other factors matter ranging from bundle size, publish size or install size to inclusion or exclusion of types, source and source-maps.

As a maintainer of a JavaScript library, you have to prioritize what to support and how to support it. In this talk, I’ll explain how you can gather this data, how you can publish multiple artifacts using a single source written in TypeScript and try to keep most of your users happy.

Testing Complex VSCode Extensions With the Power of Web Standards - Christian Bromann, Stateful Inc.
JW Grand Ballroom 2

Speakers: Christian Bromann
According to many surveys VSCode has shown to be the favorite IDE of choice for developers. However, everyone who has tried to build a VSCode extension has realised that testing it from end to end is a difficult endeavour. The VSCode ecosystem has not yet provided the tools to make this simple and efficient. Therefore many extensions are lacking of tests especially when they consists of different webviews and panels. This can hurt the developer experience for extension users. In this talk Christian Bromann, Software Engineer at Stateful, will showcase how to write UI tests for Electron applications and particularly will uncover how VSCode extension developers can use this stack to test complex extensions from end to end.

The internet is global, and its future is by no means written or spoken only in English. With the upcoming Intl.MessageFormat addition to JavaScript, we're making it easier than ever to write and maintain apps and systems that not only speak your language, but also the languages of your users. To do that, we're redefining how localisation really works, and building a system that's interoperable with all existing data formats, workflows and processes, as well as (hopefully!) all the ones we can't even imagine yet. Let me show you this new world, and where it might lead us.

Towards a stdlib for JavaScript Runtimes - James M Snell, Cloudflare
JW Grand Ballroom 2

Speakers: James Snell
JavaScript is everywhere. There are JavaScript runtimes on the client, on the server, and at various locations between, and while TC-39 has provided us with a number of powerful built-in language features, modern applications on the Web require much more than just what the language gives us. The collection of Web Platform APIs that have been developed is continually growing, most of which only apply to the narrow sets of use cases in certain types of browser-based applications. But there is a subset of Web Platform APIs that are becoming ubiquitous across every JavaScript runtime. In this talk, I will introduce the JavaScript stdlib and the ongoing efforts to define it.

Web Components at the Edge - Owen Buckley, Lending Club
Virtual - On Demand

Speakers: Owen Buckley
With the rise of Jamstack and its advocacy for HTML and static-first distribution over a CDN, what better compliment could arrive for web development than that of serverless and edge technologies. Through server-side rendering, now those delivering for the web can get content, data, and code at the edge, without a traditional server in sight! And with all the benefits that a CDN brings. Unfortunately, when applying the paradigm of component based development to this, we find the web's own native model, Web Components, are still very tightly coupled to the browser, and are thus a limiting factor in bringing the full power of the web to other runtimes like NodeJS... Or are they?

It's time for the web to have some fun! Together, let's look at how we can take the Web Components we write for the web and push them all the way to the edge, all while getting more HTML from our JavaScript.

Writing a Compiler in Node.js using Streams - Jarrod Connolly, Kabam Games Inc.
JW Grand Ballroom 1

Speakers: Jarrod Connolly
Is writing a compiler in Node.js a good idea? This is the question Jarrod put to himself when looking for a pet project to dive deeper into Node.js Streams. Jarrod will take the audience through his design choices and the setups required to build a toy compiler in Node.js. The focus will be on how the Streams module in Node.js was suited for this task. The presentation will review some essentials of transforming a textual representation of code into something executable. The basics of Lexing, Parsing and building an AST along with performance implications of using Node.js and the Stream module for this task.

Zero-dependency CLI Applications with Node.js - Ian Sutherland, Neo Financial
Virtual - On Demand

Speakers: Ian Sutherland
In the last few years a number of new APIs have been added to the Node.js standard library that make writing CLI applications and other automated tools easier. Common tasks like copying or deleting a directory of files, parsing command line arguments and downloading a file are all possible with the standard library (or will be soon). Previously you had to build this functionality from lower level APIs or use a third-party library but that's no longer necessary in many cases. This talk will introduce these new APIs and show how to build a basic CLI application with them.
