React Server Components in AI Applications
In this talk, we will explore how we can use AI to enhance user experience by having large language models return interactive React Components that we define to our users. This way, instead of instructing users on what to do with text, our applications can present interactive user interface elements directly in response to a user query. We discuss this briefly in this PodRocket episode where the Vercel CTO says it could be game changing. In this talk, we teach developers how to implement such functionality in their applications.

Handling Data at Scale for React Developers
It is very difficult to scale modern web applications to millions of concurrent users. Oftentimes, we've got to provision and consider in-memory Key/Value stores, search engines, analytics engines, and databases, all while preserving traceability through the layers. This talk expands on the technical details of web apps at this scale, and offers a simpler way to achieve the same effect without the technical hassle.
