Microservices are a software architectural style that structures an application as a collection of loosely coupled services, which implement business capabilities. Each service is self-contained and independently deployable. Services communicate with each other using APIs or messaging systems like RabbitMQ. Microservices are written in any language, including JavaScript, and can be developed and deployed independently. They are often deployed in containers, such as Docker, to provide scalability and fault tolerance.

Optimizing Microservice Architecture for High Performance and Resilience
Today's Talk discusses microservices optimization strategies for distributed systems, specifically focusing on implementing casual consistency to ensure data synchronization. Vector clocks are commonly used to track the casual relationship between write events in distributed systems. Casual consistency allows for concurrent and independent operations without synchronization, maximizing parallelism and system resource utilization. It enables effective scalability, better latency, and fault tolerance in distributed systems through coordination, resilience, reconfiguration, recovery, and data replication.

Building and Operating a Modern Composable Monolith
In this talk, Luca introduces the concept of the modern composable monolith and discusses the challenges of microservices. He emphasizes the importance of developing modular monoliths and introduces Fastify and the Platformatic Runtime as tools for this approach. The Platformatic Runtime simplifies running modular, monolithic applications, and standardizing interfaces and communication is crucial in this context. Lastly, Luca introduces Meraki as a UI-driven tool for building composable monoliths and invites developers to join their marketplace for revolutionizing the operational experience of microservices.

The workshop overviews key architecture principles, design patterns, and technologies used to build microservices in the Node.js stack. It covers the theory of the GRPC framework and protocol buffers mechanism, as well as techniques and specifics of building isolated services using the monorepo approach with lerna and yarn workspaces, TypeScript. The workshop includes a live practical assignment to create a currency converter application that follows microservices paradigms. It fits the best developers who want to learn and practice GRPC microservices pattern with the Node.js platform.
Prerequistes:- Good understanding of JavaScript or TypeScript- Experience with Node.js and writing Backend applications- Preinstall Node.js, npm- Preinstall Protocol Buffer Compiler- We prefer to use VSCode for a better experience with JavaScript and TypeScript (other IDEs are also ok)

Deploying decoupled and microservice applications isn't just a problem to be solved on migration day. Moving forward with these architectures depends completely on what your team's workflow experience will look like day-to-day post-migration.
The hardest part of this can often be the number of vendors involved. Some targets are best suited for specific frontend frameworks, while others are more so for CMSs and custom APIs. Unfortunately their assumptions, workflows, APIs, and notions of security can be quite different. While there are certain advantages to relying on a strict contract between apps – where backend and frontend teams work is limited to a single vendor – this isn't always realistic. This could be because you're still experimenting, or simply the size of your organization doesn't allow for this kind of specialization just yet.
In this workshop, you'll have a chance to explore a different, single vendor approach to microservices using Strapi and Next.js as an example. You'll deploy each app individually, establishing a workflow from the start that simplifies customization, introducing new features, investigating performance issues, and even framework interchangeability from the start.
Structure:- Getting started- Overview of Strapi- Overview of Platform.sh workflow- Deploying the project- Switching services- Adding the frontend
Prerequisites:- A Platform.sh trial account created- The Platform.sh CLI installed

Micro-scopes – How to Build a Modular Modern App in a Bundled World
This Talk discusses the importance of bundling code in the modern JavaScript world and introduces Webpack as the de facto standard for bundling modules. It explores techniques such as code splitting, multiple entry points, and controlling the build process to optimize code organization and improve performance. The Talk also delves into concepts like Universal Model Definition (UMD) and using externals in Webpack to avoid code duplication. It highlights the benefits of separating and maintaining code in an application, as well as the use of micro-frontends and monorepos for scalability and collaboration. Overall, the Talk emphasizes the significance of code separation, dependency management, and efficient bundling strategies for developing robust and modular applications.
