FAQ

The workshop focuses on deploying Node.js microservices using technologies like Bluemix and Azure cloud.

The instructors for the workshop are Alex Porjikov and Andrew Haj.

The workshop will cover technologies such as Node.js, Bluemix, Azure cloud, gRPC, Protocol Buffers, Docker, Kubernetes, Azure DevOps, and Pulumi.

gRPC is a modern open-source remote procedure call framework developed by Google that enables client and server applications to communicate and make it easier to build connected systems.

Protocol Buffers is a language-neutral, platform-neutral, extensible mechanism developed by Google for serializing structured data, used primarily in communication protocols, data storage, and more.

Docker is used to containerize the Node.js microservices, allowing them to run in isolated environments. It helps in packaging the application with all its dependencies to ensure consistency across different environments.

Pulumi is a developer-centric tool for creating infrastructure as code using familiar programming languages like TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, C#, and F#. Unlike Terraform, which uses a dedicated configuration language (HCL), Pulumi allows for more flexible and expressive configurations using general-purpose programming languages.

Azure DevOps is used for managing the code repository, running CI/CD pipelines, and handling task organization and user management for the microservices project.

An ingress in Kubernetes is a collection of rules that allow inbound connections to reach the cluster services. It provides HTTP and HTTPS routing to services based on hostnames and paths.

Participants can ask questions in the chat or post messages during the workshop to get help from the instructors.

Passwordless authentication may seem complex, but it is simple to add it to any app using the right tool.
We will enhance a full-stack JS application (Node.JS backend + React frontend) to authenticate users with OAuth (social login) and One Time Passwords (email), including:- User authentication - Managing user interactions, returning session / refresh JWTs- Session management and validation - Storing the session for subsequent client requests, validating / refreshing sessions
At the end of the workshop, we will also touch on another approach to code authentication using frontend Descope Flows (drag-and-drop workflows), while keeping only session validation in the backend. With this, we will also show how easy it is to enable biometrics and other passwordless authentication methods.

Melanie de Leeuw

We love easily created and deployed web applications! So, let’s see what a very current tech stack like Nuxt 3, Motion UI and Azure Static Web Apps can do for us. It could very well be a golden trio in modern day web development. Or it could be a fire pit of bugs and errors. Either way it will be a learning adventure for us all. Nuxt 3 has been released just a few months ago, and we cannot wait any longer to explore its new features like its acceptance of Vue 3 and the Nitro Engine. We add a bit of pizzazz to our application with the Sass library Motion UI, because static design is out, and animations are in again.Our driving power of the stack will be Azure. Azure static web apps are new, close to production and a nifty and quick way for developers to deploy their websites. So of course, we must try this out.With some sprinkled Azure Functions on top, we will explore what web development in 2022 can do.

NPM workspaces help manage multiple nested packages within a single top-level package, improving since the release of NPM CLI 7.0. You can easily add dependencies to workspaces and handle duplications. Running scripts and orchestration in a monorepo is made easier with NPM workspaces. The npm pkg command is useful for setting and retrieving keys and values from package.json files. NPM workspaces offer benefits compared to Lerna and future plans include better workspace linking and adding missing features.

Towards a Standard Library for JavaScript Runtimes

Towards a Standard Library for JavaScript Runtimes

Top Content

James Snell

Workers team @Cloudflare

There is a need for a standard library of APIs for JavaScript runtimes, as there are currently multiple ways to perform fundamental tasks like base64 encoding. JavaScript runtimes have historically lacked a standard library, causing friction and difficulty for developers. The idea of a small core has both benefits and drawbacks, with some runtimes abusing it to limit innovation. There is a misalignment between Node and web browsers in terms of functionality and API standards. The proposal is to involve browser developers in conversations about API standardization and to create a common standard library for JavaScript runtimes.

ESM Loaders: Enhancing Module Loading in Node.js

Gil Tayar

Microsoft, Israel

ESM Loaders enhance module loading in Node.js by resolving URLs and reading files from the disk. Module loaders can override modules and change how they are found. Enhancing the loading phase involves loading directly from HTTP and loading TypeScript code without building it. The loader in the module URL handles URL resolution and uses fetch to fetch the source code. Loaders can be chained together to load from different sources, transform source code, and resolve URLs differently. The future of module loading enhancements is promising and simple to use.
