Greg Brimble is an experienced Systems Engineer helping to build Cloudflare's Developer Platform. He is primarily focused on Cloudflare Pages & Workers, a platform for developers who want to build full-stack, affordable, and globally scalable applications. He spends a lot of time thinking about the experience for Cloudflare's developers, but also (and maybe more importantly) the experience for their end-users. How can applications, frameworks, and platforms all work together to produce the most performant, most accessible, and most delightful experience for users, regardless of where they are, what device or internet connection they have, or what they're trying to achieve.

How To Enhance an Existing React App With AI, Without Rewriting It From Scratch
WorkshopPublic
In this workshop, we will incrementally augment an existing React application with AI. I'm sure most of you probably already maintain a React app, so rather than starting from the ground-up, let's take something that already works, and develop some patterns for adding practical, real-world AI features without making them feel "bolted on" just for the sake of chasing the hype. We'll explore questions such as "which model should I use?", "should the LLM run on-device or on the cloud?", "am I risking vendor lock-in by picking a proprietary model over an open-source one?", and we'll dive into the deeper topics of using AI frameworks, creating agents, and the clients and servers of the Model Context Protocol (MCP). By the end of this workshop, you should have some applicable knowledge and skills which you can bring to your own applications, and hopefully, you'll walk away with a greater understanding of how and when to actually use AI

AsyncLocalStorage vs. React Context
AsyncLocalStorage is a modern API which has landed in many JavaScript runtimes. It allows developers to pass a value to a callback function without needing to drill through a direct reference. In this, it is similar to React’s Context. However, although they have a somewhat related purpose, particularly in a React Server Components world, there are meaningful differences and a suitable time to use one over the other.

Workshop
The developer ecosystem is always moving fast and this year has proved no exception. React Server Components can offer a significant improvement to developer experience and to application performance. But I think it's fair to say that this new server-first paradigm can be tricky to wrap your head around!In the first half of this workshop, we'll explore React Server Components from the ground-up: building our own mini meta-framework to help us understand how RSCs work. We'll discover exactly what is produced by an RSC build and we'll connect those pieces together to form a full application.Next, we'll deploy it! Cloudflare have also had a busy year too — Smart Placement, in particular, is a new technology that we've developed which fits the RSC model perfectly. We'll explore why that makes sense for our workshop app, and we'll actually deploy it onto the Cloudflare Developer Platform.Finally, we'll build out our app a little further, using D1 (our serverless SQL database) to really show off the React Server Component's power when combined with Smart Placement.You should come away from this workshop with a greater understanding of how React Server Components work (both behind-the-scenes and also how you as a developer can use them day-to-day), as well as insight into some of the new deployment patterns that are now possible after recent innovations in the platform space.
