Talk Title: The State of Node.js Core

Abstract: Node.js, as a platform, is constantly changing and evolving. Node’s core is a melting pot of features from our own community, as well as dependencies such as V8 and libuv. This talk will cover the latest developments in Node core.

Speaker: Matteo Collina

Talk Title: I would never use an ORM

Abstract: What's an ORM? An Object-Relational Mapping tool (ORM) is a library to map a SQL table to a Class. In most cases, ORMs force the users to structure their code to have Model objects that include both data access and business logic. Once upon a time, I did several projects using ORMs as I followed the common belief that they would simplify the development and maintenance of projects. I was wrong. ORMs are often a hurdle to overcome for the most complex part of a project. As the next stop of my journey, I recommended people use the native languages of their databases, e.g., SQL. This works great for the most part, but it creates quite a struggle: there is a lot of boilerplate code to write that can be quite tedious. I was wrong, again. Today I'm presenting you something new.

Speaker: Michael Dawson

Talk Title: Building Node.js native addons like it’s 2023

Abstract: Most of the code for applications running on Node.js are written in JavaScript. However, there is often the need to integrate existing components written in another language or to leverage native code for performance reasons. Enter native addons. They let you integrate existing components or code written in another language and use them just like they were written in JavaScript. The good news is that with Node-api and node-addon-api it’s now possible to do this with more than just C/C++ but also Rust, C#,  Zig and more.  As a bonus these addons will also now work with other JavaScript runtimes as well. This talk will help you understand how to build a native addon by walking through code examples helping you understand which of the different options for building native addons are the best fit for your use case.
