Traditional databases often hinder React developers' workflow. New approaches, including serverless solutions, are revolutionizing data handling in React apps. This talk explores how modern database paradigms enable end-to-end type safety, create ergonomic workflows, and support rapid iteration. Learn how these next-gen databases integrate with React to simplify development and boost productivity, helping you build more efficient and performant applications.

Do you ever find yourself pondering how to identify and address performance issues in TypeScript to maximize the effectiveness of your code? If so, join us for a talk on the performance of TypeScript and the techniques you can use to get the most out of your code. We'll delve into various ways to debug performance, explore how to leverage the power of the TypeScript compiler to detect potential performance issues and use the profiling tools available to track down the underlying bottlenecks.

There are amazing tools out there providing you with excellent type safety. But when you get to the client-side fetching, things go wild. Even if you have perfectly typed backed, you lose the type information during the client-side communication. Yes, you can use GraphQL or protobuf and generate types, but... what if I told you there's an easier way? A way that lets you develop your apps smoother than with REST or GraphQL? How? RPC! Say hi to maximum productivity with fantastic developer experience.

Blitz was created as a full-stack React framework, inspired by Ruby on Rails, and with a goal to make you as productive as possible! It features a “”Zero-API”" data layer abstraction, has authn & authz out of the box and a few more exciting features. However, we recently decided to pivot Blitz to a framework agnostic toolkit, which means a huge and thrilling change for the Blitz community. During this talk, I will introduce the core concepts, talk about the why & how of the pivot, and give you a glimpse of Blitz’s future.
