This talk is about an experiment I wanted to try and carried out. I wondered what if we gave React components self-healing properties? What if instead of developers checking Sentry for crashes and then fixing and sending it to prod, the component fixes the crash on its own at runtime? In this talk, we will discuss this exact possibility and whether we can really make it work and what the drawbacks are...

What if your React app could understand users without sending their data anywhere?Modern browsers can now run meaningful machine learning locally. This talk shows how to use in-browser ML to build React interfaces that personalize, adapt, and respond in real time, while staying fast, private, and predictable in production.

What happens when HTML steps inside the canvas? In this hands-on live coding session, we’ll explore the new HTML-in-Canvas API and the creative possibilities it unlocks. We’ll build from scratch, covering core concepts like pixel manipulation, simple effects, and basic shaders. The focus is on practical building blocks you can take and experiment with, no prior experience required.

Publishing a shared component library feels like a milestone, until a single change breaks multiple applications at once.While working on a monorepo at EPAM Systems powering 8 production applications for a global supply chain platform, we built a shared ecosystem of independently deployable frontend packages: authentication, navigation, app shell, user profile, and UI components. On paper, it promised consistency and speed. In reality, it introduced a new class of problems, subtle, cross-app, and often hard to debug.A mismatch in React versions led to duplicate instances and unpredictable behavior across apps. Small feature requests from different teams slowly turned shared components into overly flexible, inconsistent abstractions. Even “safe” refactors required coordinating across teams, managing rollouts, and avoiding breaking changes in production systems we didn’t fully control.This talk goes beyond best practices to explore the real trade-offs of shared frontend architecture at scale. I’ll walk through concrete failures, decisions, and constraints we faced — and the strategies that actually worked: strict dependency contracts, opinionated API design, staged migrations, and clear ownership models.If you’re building or maintaining shared packages in a monorepo or multi-app ecosystem, this talk will help you avoid common pitfalls and make better architectural decisions — before they impact multiple teams at once.

For decades, frontend performance has been guided by the simple principle that faster is better. We optimize load times, reduce latency, and remove every unnecessary delay from the user journey.While building streaming AI interfaces with React, I discovered that traditional performance metrics do not tell the whole story. In AI products, users do not just experience a before and after. They experience a during. They watch responses stream in, follow reasoning traces, observe tool execution and form opinions about the system long before an answer is complete.In this talk, I want to share lessons learned from building production AI experiences, including streaming architectures, rendering strategies and real-time interfaces. We will explore why time to first token, streaming consistency and the quality of the waiting experience can matter just as much as raw speed.You will leave with practical insights for building AI-powered React applications and a new perspective on what performance means when users are watching the system think.

Every web app needs icons, and there are surprisingly many ways to load them: img tags, icon fonts, inline SVGs, SVG sprites, and Icon components. Most teams pick one by habit or choose what's easy. The choice affects bundle size, accessibility, caching, rendering quality, and developer experience.This talk walks through each approach, how it actually works under the hood, and what it costs you. We'll compare them, showing network requests, bundle impact, and loading speed.  We will show you a simple decision framework you can apply to your own projects; by the end, you'll know not just which option is "best," but which is right for your specific constraints.

Generative UI is currently one of the most explosive frontiers in frontend engineering. Modern UI frameworks like React are moving from static components to streaming, AI-generated micro-frontends.Andrey's talk explicitly references Google's A2UI protocol, which standardizes how agents emit declarative layout schemas that are safely interpreted and rendered by trusted client components. React component architecture, server actions, and client-side design patterns are exactly where this protocol must be implemented. Senior React developers are looking for ways to move past boring, messy chat-bubble boxes and build structural, design-compliant generative components.

You know how to build client apps—but where do client developers fit in the new world of ChatGPT and MCP? If you’ve used GraphQL before, it turns out your knowledge translates directly. This talk demonstrates how to build MCP apps using Apollo Client’s new open source AI apps integration along with the open source Apollo MCP server with patterns you already use:Fragment colocation → Tool design: Structure MCP tools as component data requirementsQuery optimization → Tool call patterns: Minimize LLM roundtrips with the same performance thinkingType safety → Tool schemas: Apply GraphQL’s type discipline to MCP definitionsA live demo builds an MCP app querying a GraphQL API, showing how best practices from GraphQL client development apply to MCP apps.

Let an AI model patch your accessibility tree live, and the first thing it will teach you is how it fails. Not occasionally, reliably, in specific, learnable ways: confident but wrong ARIA states, patches that compile but break keyboard flow, fixes that pass an automated audit while making the actual screen reader experience worse.This talk is not a victory lap for a clever pipeline. It's the failure modes first, then the architecture that exists specifically because of them. We'll look at why static linters structurally can't catch dynamic ARIA bugs, what it actually takes to make an AI-generated accessibility patch safe to apply automatically, and the much larger lesson underneath: the accessibility tree is downstream of component state, not of markup which means most AI-accessibility tooling is analyzing the wrong layer entirely.You'll leave with a concrete mental model for the gap between markup-level and state-level accessibility analysis, a typed validation pattern for constraining what an AI agent is allowed to touch in your UI, and an honest account of where this approach still falls short because if a talk about AI and accessibility doesn't tell you where it breaks, it hasn't been tested enough yet.

As React shifts from "Black Box" NPM packages to "Copy-Paste" components, we face a new crisis: How do we distribute complex state and security logic without locking down the UI?This talk breaks down the architecture of a multi-distribution system. We’ll explore using TanStack Query as a headless state machine to orchestrate multi-step authentication sequences and global error-handling patterns that bridge the gap between library and implementation. Learn how to ship "logic-heavy" components that give developers total UI freedom without sacrificing architectural integrity.

Component tests started in real browsers with Karma: high fidelity, but slow feedback and painful config. Jest + JSDOM made tests fast and easy, but emulation can miss rendering, layout, and browser APIs.Playwright and Vitest Browser Mode bring back browser-first testing with headless speed, parallel runs, and traces. We’ll compare the approaches and share migration tips for legacy code.

Styled-components lost against Tailwind, partly due to better performance while trading it for a unique API. Can’t you have both, a fast runtime and a familiar API?We replaced styled-components with a build-time compiler in next-yak without changing a single line of user code and saw surprising results: INP improved over 10%, our SSR latency and our pod count dropped significantly. But the path there wasn’t simple.This talk is about three problems that make compile-time CSS-in-JS genuinely hard: dynamic interpolations, cross-file references and build-time evaluation. I will show what we solved, how we solved it and what we couldn’t fully solve and why the remaining gap is a harder problem than it looks. 

As React applications scale, asynchronous logic often turns into a source of fragility and frustration. Scattered useEffect hooks, ad-hoc retries, manual loading states, and inconsistent error handling create race conditions, memory leaks, and business logic that’s nearly impossible to test reliably.This talk introduces Effect-TS - a powerful, type-safe toolkit that brings clarity and control to async workflows in React. Instead of functional programming theory, we’ll focus on practical, battle-tested patterns that solve real production problems:Separating effects from execution for better composabilityTyped error channels that eliminate silent failures and runtime surprisesDeclarative retries, cancellation, and parallel executionBulletproof handling of component unmounts and stale requestsSmooth, incremental adoption in existing React or Expo codebasesAttendees will leave with concrete strategies to transform chaotic async code into logic that is predictable, testable, and maintainable - even in large, complex applications.

React 19’s new use() API is often introduced through data fetching: pass a Promise, suspend while it’s pending, and render when the data is ready. But for many React apps, the bigger performance problem is not just waiting for data — it is shipping, executing, and hydrating too much JavaScript too early. Because use() can suspend on any Promise, it opens a bigger performance opportunity: what if a React app could wait not only for data, but for any resource that determines when different parts of the UI should load, render, or hydrate?In this talk, we’ll explore use() as a primitive for resource-driven performance. We’ll start with the familiar data-fetching pattern, then expand the model through several different use cases: selectively loading component code and remote modules, delaying hydration and interactivity based on viewport and user intent, prioritizing critical UI, and even creating SSR-only components.Through practical examples, we’ll see how these use()-driven patterns can help us avoid common performance problems in heavy React pages: too much JavaScript, too much hydration work, and too many components competing for network and CPU before the user actually needs them.By the end of the talk, you’ll see use() not just as a data-fetching API, but as a new way to control when React components should load, render, and hydrate — helping us build faster pages and more intentional user experiences.

Most React applications treat AI as a separate service: a backend calls an LLM, returns JSON, and a client component renders it. This works, but it misses something fundamental about how React Server Components actually model computation.RSCs do not just move rendering to the server. They make the server a first-class part of the React tree. And the server is exactly where AI inference belongs: close to data, streaming by design, and free from the browser's constraints.In this talk I'll show a concrete architecture where the AI call is the render. A Server Component reaches out to a language model, receives structured output, and streams typed React elements directly to the client with no extra API route, no serialization layer, and no client-side state for the AI response.We'll cover the happy path, the failure modes, and the real-world lessons from building this in production, including hallucination-resistant validation, Suspense boundaries for model latency, and the one architectural mistake that will destroy your Time-to-First-Byte.

Frontend apps morph at lightspeed, obliterating traditional test automation in their wake – CSS flips, components explode on re-render, and your test suite? Total carnage, half of it flaming red!Buckle up: I'm unleashing a game-changer – harnessing the browser's Accessibility Tree (the secret sauce powering screen readers) for AI-fueled, bulletproof tests. Forget fragile selectors; these bad boys are framework-agnostic, refactor-proof, and redesign-demolishing!Live demo + battle-tested examples incoming: Watch maintenance evaporate, flakiness vanish, and accessibility skyrocket as your ultimate sidekick. Who's ready to future-proof their tests?

We have been supporting builders of AI products with over a dozen of features in TanStack AI. Today I want to show you how most AI workflows work under the hood, what it takes to run a harness, what is important after the initial implementation of a chat experience and how to grow your functionalities and scale to the needs of your users, and most importantly, how TanStack AI enables you to do all of this with ease and joy.

Last year I presented a brand new integration of React Native into Unreal Engine. This year I am taking it a step further, and to show the progress on this new approach I will show you how to create a real game UI in Unreal Engine using React Native.Gaming has long been lagging behind mobile and web in the ease of building a good UI , especially for data heavy games. The gaming world has long embraced the idea of web - games like Civilization 7 launch with fully Web UI by embedding a specialized browser. I think React & React Native are a great fit for revolutionizing how game UI are built.

React developers (amongst others, ofc) know one golden rule: never use dangerouslySetInnerHtml on user input. Yet, as we're integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) into our applications, we often make a fatal mistake. We're treating AI output as a trusted source. This is fine. Well, not automatically....Let’s look at OWASP LLM05 and how "Improper Output Handling" affects web security. Therefore, let's discuss examples of how safe inputs can trick models, leading to vulnerabilities such as XSS and injection attacks. By the end, you’ll learn how to be "professionally pessimistic" for AI. You’ll see how to sanitize LLM data, safely render Markdown, and manage AI-generated content. Let's approach technology with caution, I look forward to exploring this with you! 

Optimistic UI makes apps feel instant by showing results before the server confirms them. In most apps that's a fine trade-off. In financial applications, showing a user an incorrect balance even for 200ms is a trust problem that compounds. This talk explores the tension between perceived performance and correctness, the React patterns that resolve it, and why "optimistic" is a UX promise your architecture needs to be able to keep.

Agentic development feels like magic to some teams and overhyped to others. Harnesses like Claude Code or Codex have been built around the local loop, the way things have always been done: a single developer changing code before opening a PR. Inside real organizations, agents hit walls: repo boundaries that demand human attention, a lack of episodic memory across sessions and unresolved questions around trust and permissions.Fixing this requires a higher level of abstraction: the *meta-harness*. Just as meta-frameworks like Next.js or Remix let React stay simple while giving developers what they need to ship, a meta-harness keeps the agent CLI focused on its job while bringing the components teams need to be effective: cross-repo orchestration, testing, and change tracking for greater autonomy,session memory that understands decisions and extracts tribal knowledge,collaboration features for easier handoffs, reviews, shareable sessions andsecurity primitives like sandboxes, remote execution, and clearly scoped agent permissions.This talk argues that the meta-harness - a layer above any single lab or agent - is the missing piece for integrating agents into how we build software across the stack.

AI can generate a React component in seconds. The hard part is changing a real React or Next.js codebase safely: knowing what is dead, where logic is duplicated, which boundaries a refactor crosses, and how a change affects the component graph or design system.Coding agents infer this from a prompt and a few open files. That works for local changes, but it misses the repo-wide context that makes larger changes risky. In this talk, Bart shows how agentic engineering changes when Fallow gives the agent deterministic facts about dead code and duplication, architecture boundaries, React hotspots, and design-token drift. The productivity gain comes from giving developers and agents the same map of the system before they edit and a reliable way to verify the result.

Ads Manager powers 84% of Meta's Ads Revenue, but its decade-old codebase was stuck on React class components — blocking modern patterns like hooks, Relay, and React Compiler. Manual migration of 10k+ components class to functional component was impractical. In this talk, I'll show how we built an AI codemod pipeline using Devmate that achieved a 5x speedup, migrating 3k+ components with a 99.6% success rate. I'll cover the tradeoffs between AST and AI codemods, how to classify components by complexity for targeted prompts, and the grading/eval strategies that made non-deterministic AI agents production-ready.

We built a product fully on TanStack Query and skipped adding a state management layer. It worked for a while, then it broke in ways we didn’t expect.This talk dives into how TanStack Query works, what we got wrong, and how to use it properly. From missing optimistic updates to confusing server and client state, we’ll break down the lessons learned and what patterns actually scale when your app grows.

React re‑renders components on every state change. Signals write directly to the DOM – no re‑renders, no reconciler. I built four npm packages that run unmodified React components on signals. Live demo: building a signal from 3 lines of code, then flipping a real React app onto the signal engine. 123 tests pass.

State management has traditionally focused on synchronizing user interactions, frontend state, and backend persistence. But AI agents introduce a new type of actor into modern applications: autonomous workflows that can read, execute, and modify application state alongside human users.In this session, we explore how familiar frontend state management concepts can evolve into shared full-stack architectures where both humans and AI agents collaborate on the same data model. Using examples from modern React applications, we will examine sandboxed agent execution with forked state snapshots, deterministic merge strategies, concurrent updates between users and agents, and techniques for making agent actions observable and debuggable.Rather than treating AI as an external API call, this talk presents agents as first-class participants in application state transitions. We will extend familiar concepts such as state stores, reducers, event streams, and optimistic updates beyond the frontend into backend orchestration systems that keep human and agent state consistent.Attendees will leave with practical architectural patterns for building collaborative human + AI applications using ideas they already know from modern frontend development.

Building app-like UX on the web has historically meant reaching for an SPA. You ship the data layer to the browser, manage a client cache, juggle loading states, coordinate mutations, and write a lot of code to keep the UI feeling fast and fresh. The result can be great, but the cost is high, and the model gets harder to maintain as your app grows.Next.js takes a different path. Since React Server Components first landed, we’ve been working toward a way to build where each piece of your app runs where it belongs, while the mental model stays the same: components. In this talk, you’ll see how that translates into instant-feeling UX, streamed UI, fresh data, coordinated updates, caching across the stack, and strong Core Web Vitals that hold up as your product scales.xt.

How do you know an AI system will refuse the thing it must always refuse? Today the answer is testing: ask it a thousand ways and hope the thousand-and-first isn't different. The policy in this talk has 55 variables a caller controls: that's 36 quadrillion situations! It also has a test suite of 33 unit tests, all green. This talk is about deciding the question instead of sampling it. A safety rule like "never do X without checking Y" becomes a logic circuit, and a circuit becomes arithmetic: equations whose only solutions are the situations the rule allows. Asking whether the rule can be broken turns into asking whether that system has any solution. Live: one rule proved unbreakable, with a short record of why that you can check yourself without trusting the program that found it; and two that break, each repaired and re-proved on the spot. This proves the rail, not the model.

Codebases grow over time, and as they do, they tend to get worse to work with. This usually isn't anyone's particular fault. People come and go, features get shipped, dependencies get added. It feels like a death by a thousand cuts.At Sentry, we noticed this too: Long CI pipelines, hundreds of components, bad abstractions, huge dependency graphs and import cycles. The codebase is 10+ years old! And as AI comes along and makes adding new code trivial, all of a sudden all the symptoms amplify.In this talk, I will showcase the countermeasures we're applying at Sentry to stop this from getting worse. We'll look at how we can make it easier to do the right thing in a large codebase, how fast feedback loops fit into that, and why humans and agents might not be so different when it comes to what they need to work effectively…

After six interviews with people with disabilities about their daily struggles and opportunities they see in AI, it became clear that while standards and patterns have brought accessibility far, there are hard limits on how well one interface can adapt for all users.This led us to a different approach: instantly generated UI based on personal needs and context. Not adapting one interface, but exploring what AI makes possible when launching an app takes the same time as creating one on-the-fly.

Almost a decade ago, React’s rendering algorithm was rebuilt, and with that it brought about new tools, ideas, and ways of building UI. But those tools arrived incrementally and were adopted in isolation, often framed as “optimizations” rather than part of a unified model. So are they truly independent ideas, or are they different expressions of the same underlying model made possible by the new rendering algorithm?Join us as we re-introduce "Async React" as the mental model for modern react and show how we can write more declarative code, embrace async-first as the default and let React handle the rest.

AI assistants now write a growing share of the code your team ships, but most review processes and quality gates were designed for human authors. Reviewing more code faster isn't a strategy. In this lightning talk, Albert Franquesa introduces Control, Evidence, Trust, a simple model for leading teams through this shift: enforce your standards before code is written, measure what AI actually contributes and what it gets wrong, and use that evidence to decide where agents can safely do more and where humans must stay in the loop. Trust in AI code isn't a feeling. It's earned with control and proven with evidence.

Every team measures the engineering part of delivery - and it's already the fastest part. We measured the whole thing, from idea to learning, using data we already had: issue changelogs, structured experiment records, engineering analytics. We reconstructed the real clocks of our delivery and learned that an idea takes almost six months to become a validated result.

Engineering we could see in detail. Much of the rest we couldn't see at all: some steps leave no trace anywhere, and between the steps there are hand-offs - unstructured, owned by nobody, impossible to measure. That's where the time lives.

I'll walk through the investigation, the arithmetic behind why speeding up engineering alone barely moves the needle, and what actually does: improving the whole loop. Then the model we built on that premise and are piloting now - every step has a typed input and a typed output, and inside every step there's a self-checking improvement loop: AI drafts, a human who didn't draft it judges, and the judges themselves are reviewed - including the steps owned by analysts and medical reviewers, not just engineers.

In this data-driven talk, we will bypass marketing hype and unmask the hidden creatures behind Next.js., Using massive, real-world datasets from the HTTP Archive and the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX), we will review the chronological evolution of Next.js performance and contrast its promised performance features with the real-world metrics of massive sites struggling with performance debt. Don’t dream your web is fast. Face the reality before it's too late.

How do you deliver with AI and still sleep at night? By engineering trust into your delivery system.
In this talk, I'll share an end-to-end AI engineering workflow we built and ran on a production codebase, redefining roles, responsibilities, quality gates, and human decision points across the entire delivery lifecycle.
You'll leave with a practical framework for engineering AI workflows where reliability is designed in, trust is earned, and success becomes the default outcome, not a fortunate accident.

I built an RSC renderer in Rust by reverse engineering React's Flight protocol. The wire format, the serializer, the streaming machinery. I got it wrong in ways that taught me exactly how React internals work. Then I integrated the canonical Fizz renderer and discovered why React's approach exists. This talk walks through the Flight wire format, the bugs that revealed React's design contracts, and the delta between a custom implementation and React's actual architecture.

We build platforms in perfect environments, but the real world is anything but that.Real teams need to move fast, stay pragmatic, and make difficult architectural choices, each with their own trade-offs. So how do we keep UX, resilience, and performance at the forefront while the architecture underneath them continues to evolve?This talk looks at web experiences as a full-stack problem. From the backend, through APIs, and infrastructure, all the way to the frontend, we'll explore how each layer shapes the experience we ultimately deliver to the user.Through a real-world architecture case study and increasingly hostile conditions, we'll look at how caching, data fetching, streaming, payload design, and resilience strategies can evolve together, and how to navigate the entire stack to build experiences that stay fast and reliable at scale.

Frontend and backend are often treated as opposite worlds, each with its own tools, constraints, and claims about which side is harder. But are they really so different?Modern frontend applications increasingly resemble distributed systems. Multiple tabs drift out of sync. Shared caches require invalidation. Optimistic updates collide with server state. Requests fail, retries duplicate work, and yesterday’s truth becomes today’s stale data. What looks like everyday UI code quickly becomes a coordination problem.Backend engineers will recognize these challenges immediately: establishing a single source of truth, defining data ownership, validating untrusted input and observing systems in production.In this talk, we’ll cross the frontend-backend divide and explore the shared principles behind these problems. We’ll see what frontend development can learn from backend thinking, what the backend can learn from reactive interfaces, and in the end a glimpse on how Effect provides practical patterns for building resilient, observable, and maintainable applications on both sides of the stack.

AI makes individual engineers faster - and quietly more isolated.
As coding agents become everyone's default pair, the collaboration that keeps an org healthy erodes: pairing fades, context gets trapped in private chat histories, knowledge stops diffusing, teams drift into silos.
Velocity dashboards look great, so nothing seems wrong - until onboarding slows and bus-factor spikes.
This talk names the failure mode, explains why standard metrics miss it, and shows what leaders can do to keep teams connected as AI adoption accelerates.

AI usage grows, cost follows, and leadership asks you to control it. The instinct is to reach straight for a spending cap. Our concern was that doing so would undermine the adoption we had encouraged, while the arithmetic showed that a daily limit would not control the overall budget anyway.

This case study follows the design of cost governance for AI development tooling across an engineering organisation while adoption continues to evolve. Governance that has any chance of sticking depends as much on framing the policy and sequencing cost control efforts as it does on thresholds, and choosing a number is often easier than deciding what the control is supposed to achieve.

Teams often start agent adoption by adding tools: MCP servers, API wrappers, chat interfaces in developer portals. But once coding agents move from local help into real delivery workflows, they usually fail earlier than the tool call. They read stale ownership, conflicting runbooks, missing deploy history, and policies that were written for humans.

This talk introduces company memory as the missing layer for production coding agents: trustworthy, permission-aware engineering context that agents can read, cite, and act on safely. We’ll look at what belongs in that memory, how to expose it through capability registries and machine-readable tool contracts, how to use on-behalf-of identity instead of shared AI service accounts, and how to grow trust from read → recommend → act.

The goal is simple: before giving agents more tools, make sure they can trust what they read.

We used to explain our bugs to rubber ducks. Now, the duck talks back, writes code, and occasionally lies to our faces.

LLMs are incredible tools. They can cure "blank screen syndrome," instantly write boilerplate, and explain weird legacy code. But treating them like senior engineers is a massive trap. They hallucinate confidently, lose track of the bigger picture, and make it dangerously easy to deploy code you don't actually understand.

Our telemetry dashboard was green — a bug-fixer skill firing hundreds of times a week, a test-coverage agent running on every diff, manual-tester agents driving browser test cases across products, security reviews kicking off across teams, daily active users climbing. And I still couldn't answer one question: did any of it make us better? Every usage metric was lying. This talk is how we drove real adoption of an internal AI plugin marketplace across 30+ engineering teams — hands-on workshops and embedded champions — and how we now measure what actually matters: fewer bugs, faster cycles, less busywork, not call counts.

Frontend teams are increasingly using AI to speed up UI development by generating code directly from designs. While the results can look impressive, they often fall short in real production environments: incorrect components, missing accessibility, and broken design-system rules are common failure modes. In this talk, I’ll present a real-world Figma-to-Code case study that treats AI as part of the frontend infrastructure rather than a code generator. By teaching AI how a design system works and orchestrating a structured workflow, we moved from “cool demos” to production-ready UI code - an approach we now rely on in real product development, saving significant time while improving consistency, quality, and user experience.

AI is giving developers unprecedented autonomy. Every engineer can now create their own workflow, combining coding agents, prompts, knowledge bases, and tools in different ways. While this can dramatically increase individual productivity, it introduces a new challenge for engineering leaders: maintaining consistency across teams.

In this talk, we'll explore how AI is creating new forms of organizational drift, why team alignment matters more than ever, and practical approaches for building shared AI practices without limiting innovation.

2 years ago, the engineering team's structure was fairly standardized, 2-pizza cross-functional teams and an engineering manager leading the team. These days, everyone is figuring it out as they go, making adjustments and seeing what may work and what not.

In this talk, Gregor will share how companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Shutterstock and others build engineering teams in the AI era. He will also share his recommendation on the best structure for a specific type of organization.
