Life of an ESM in Node.js – and How It's Changing for the Better

Deno 1.9 introduced a new web server API that takes advantage of Hyper, a fast and correct HTTP implementation for Rust. Using this API instead of the std/http implementation increases performance and provides support for HTTP2. In this workshop, learn how to create a web server utilizing Hyper under the hood and boost the performance for your web apps.

Learn the full potential of TypeScript by using advanced features like Type Inference, Type Guards, Generics, Transformers, and Utility Types with asynchronous programming in both Node.js (using Express.js) and Bun.js (using Hono.js), all while understanding best practices for building strongly typed APIs with different databases.OverviewIn this workshop, we’ll kick off with a discussion on the recent updates in Node.js and Bun.js, focusing on their built-in TypeScript support. You'll learn how to set up TypeScript in both runtimes and create strictly typed APIs using Express.js and Hono.js. Through hands-on demos, we'll explore integration with various databases like MongoDB and Postgres, leveraging advanced TypeScript features to build robust applications. By the end of the workshop, you'll be equipped with the knowledge to optimize TypeScript code for performance and design patterns, ensuring your APIs are both efficient and maintainable.Learning Goals- Introduction to Node.js’s and Bun.js’s TypeScript support- Advanced TypeScript Features: Generics, Type Guards, Mapped Types, etc.- Middleware and Dependency Injection with Express.js and Hono.js- Design Pattern and Performance Enhancements in TypeScript- Unit and Integration Testing with TypeScript- Database Integration: MongoDB, Postgres, Prisma, and others- Best Practices for Robust API Development in both Node.js and Bun.js

Prisma is an open-source ORM for Node.js and TypeScript. In this workshop, you’ll learn the fundamental Prisma workflows to model data, perform database migrations and query the database to read and write data. You’ll also learn how Prisma fits into your application stack, building a REST API and a GraphQL API from scratch using SQLite as the database.

- Setting up Prisma, data modeling & migrations- Exploring Prisma Client to query the database- Building REST API routes with Express- Building a GraphQL API with Apollo Server

Welcome to Fauna! This workshop helps GraphQL developers build performant applications with Fauna that scale to any size userbase. You start with the basics, using only the GraphQL playground in the Fauna dashboard, then build a complete full-stack application with Next.js, adding functionality as you go along.

In the first section, Getting started with Fauna, you learn how Fauna automatically creates queries, mutations, and other resources based on your GraphQL schema. You learn how to accomplish common tasks with GraphQL, how to use the Fauna Query Language (FQL) to perform more advanced tasks.

In the second section, Building with Fauna, you learn how Fauna automatically creates queries, mutations, and other resources based on your GraphQL schema. You learn how to accomplish common tasks with GraphQL, how to use the Fauna Query Language (FQL) to perform more advanced tasks.

This workshop will explore how to build GraphQL APIs backed Neo4j, a native graph database. The Neo4j GraphQL Library allows developers to quickly design and implement fully functional GraphQL APIs without writing any resolvers. This workshop will show how to use the Neo4j GraphQL Library to build a Node.js GraphQL API, including adding custom logic and authorization rules.

Table of contents:
- Overview of GraphQL and building GraphQL APIs
- Building Node.js GraphQL APIs backed a native graph database using the Neo4j GraphQL Library
- Adding custom logic to our GraphQL API using the @cypher schema directive and custom resolvers
- Adding authentication and authorization rules to our GraphQL API
