Today's Talk discusses the importance of managing technical debt through refactoring practices, prioritization, and planning. Successful refactoring requires establishing guidelines, maintaining an inventory, and implementing a process. Celebrating success and ensuring resilience are key to building a strong refactoring culture. Visibility, support, and transparent communication are crucial for addressing technical debt effectively. The team's responsibilities, operating style, and availability should be transparent to product managers.

Monolith to Micro-Frontends
Top Content
Microfrontends are considered as a solution to the problems of exponential growth, code duplication, and unclear ownership in older applications. Transitioning from a monolith to microfrontends involves decoupling the system and exploring options like a modular monolith. Microfrontends enable independent deployments and runtime composition, but there is a discussion about the alternative of keeping an integrated application composed at runtime. Choosing a composition model and a router are crucial decisions in the technical plan. The Strangler pattern and the reverse Strangler pattern are used to gradually replace parts of the monolith with the new application.

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 + Vanilla JS frontend) to authenticate users with One Time Passwords (email) and OAuth, including:
- User authentication – Managing user interactions, returning session / refresh JWTs- Session management and validation – Storing the session securely 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.
