JavaScript-based full-text search with Orama everywhere

In this workshop, we will see how to adopt Orama, a powerful full-text search engine written entirely in JavaScript, to make search available wherever JavaScript runs. We will learn when, how, and why deploying it on a serverless function could be a great idea, and when it would be better to keep it directly on the browser. Forget APIs, complex configurations, etc: Orama will make it easy to integrate search on projects of any scale.

During the past months, I developed Lyra, an incredibly fast full-text search engine entirely written in TypeScript. It was surprising to me to see how it could compete with solutions written in Rust, Java, and Golang, all languages known for being typically "faster than JavaScript"... but is that even true? In this talk, I will share some lessons I learned while developing complex, performance-critical applications in JavaScript.

Things I learned while writing high-performance JavaScript applications

React Summit 2022

Next.js is a compelling framework that makes many tasks effortless by providing many out-of-the-box solutions. But as soon as our app needs to scale, it is essential to maintain high performance without compromising maintenance and server costs. In this workshop, we will see how to analyze Next.js performances, resources usage, how to scale it, and how to make the right decisions while writing the application architecture.

High-performance Next.js

Next.js is a fantastic framework; it provides many unique features, helping you build any web application effortlessly. But when it comes to choosing the right rendering strategy for your pages, you may face a problem; how should I render them? Should I statically generate them at build time? Should I server-side render them at run-time? Well, the answer is surprising. server-side rendering is rarely the best option, and let's explore why (and how to solve this problem!)

You don't want to Server-side Render your Next.js App

Next.js is a compelling framework that makes many tasks effortless providing many out-of-the-box solutions. But when it comes to authentication and user security, it's our mission to make it reliable, secure, and efficient. In this workshop, we'll focus on different user authentication and session management approaches, starting from a custom authentication strategy (that we will build together), and ending learning how to identify and integrate the right auth provider (Auth0, Firebase, etc.) for any app. Table of contents:- A brief introduction to Next.js- Building an authentication mechanism from scratch- Why we should avoid custom authentication- How to identify the proper authentication mechanism and provider- Integrating NextAuth.js, Auth0, Firebase, or any other provider <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

Managing Authentication in Next.js

Compiling (or transpiling) modern JavaScript to older ECMAScript-compatible versions has allowed the web to evolve incredibly fast while making us happier developers. But how does the compilation process work? How can we write our own Babel plugins? Let's find out! <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>
