Although Node.js is fast approaching its 9th Birthday, adoption of the platform has yet to spread to some key areas in the enterprise. There are many issues surrounding the politics and technical limitations to using Node.js in production, but sometimes this can be a simple one: have the development team thought about it?
Node backend apps are lightweight, simple to build, easy to maintain, and everyone knows JavaScript, so what are you waiting for? Well, maybe that's not all quite true - there may be one or more of these issues in your way, or maybe you're just plain unsure about where to start! Let's get the ball rolling and move to Node!
In this talk we will look at:
- 📝 The choices of how to build a modern Node.js app
- 🏗️ Structuring of a project
- 🤹♂️ Managing dependencies
- 🚀 Deployment options, and a look at containers
- 🔀 Concurrency and external service interoperability
- 🔢 Trans-compilation tooling
- ❓ Finally, a Q&A to cover anything that may have been missed!
