Next.js has become one of the most widely used React frameworks in the world and a small team of Google Chrome engineers are working to make it better. But why is Google trying to improve a React framework in the first place?  In this talk, we’ll cover how the Chrome Aurora team is working to advance the web framework ecosystem beginning with Next.js. From improving core loading performance to providing an extensive number of utilities, the optimizations the Aurora team have landed have already improved the developer and end-user experience of hundreds of thousands of Next.js applications. By the end of this talk, you’ll learn about how the team have designed and shipped numerous image, script, and font optimizations as well as get a glimpse of a number of exciting new features planned for the near future.

AppSync lets you build scalable and robust GraphQL API without having to worry about infrastructure. In this session, AWS Serverless Hero Yan Cui shares his personal experience of running AppSync in production - the good, the bad and some tips for dealing with common challenges such as caching and modelling multi-tenant applications with Cognito.

Redux is known for its "reducer" functions, but writing async Redux logic has always been more complicated. There's many available addons, with strange names like "thunks", "sagas", and "observables", and the differences and purpose of these tools can be confusing. It can be hard to know what to use, especially since Redux itself has changed over time.  In this talk, we'll look at how Redux was originally designed to be customized with different middleware for async logic, and review the most common async middleware and when it makes sense to use them. We'll also discuss the Redux team's current recommended approaches and how Redux Toolkit implements those recommendations. Finally, we'll introduce the newest APIs that Redux Toolkit provides to help with data fetching and async logic, and how those can simplify your Redux applications.

Developers spend about 50% of their time debugging and maintaining software. However, they're constrained by traditional developer tools that only provide a glimpse of application behavior at certain points in time. Learn how Replay is taking React debugging into the next dimension with time travel for React and Redux DevTools.

Building great ecommerce applications is hard. In this talk, we’ll go over how to build performant headless ecommerce web applications using Swell, Next.js with on-demand ISR, and Vercel. We’ll introduce these technologies separately, do a code walkthrough of some starter code, then dive into live coding to build a functioning coffee shop delivery application.  (Feel free to modify however you see fit!)

Some anchors just need to be buttons instead. But it's not always easy because buttons are strange and mysterious elements at times. In this talk I'll go into common use cases and edge cases and explain why buttons behave the way they do, and how we can give a consistent experience across different browsers.

What if I told you you can have a production-ready GraphQL API deployed to the cloud within 20 minutes? How about I show you? In this lightning-paced video we'll take an API from zero to production, explaining the what, why, and how of building backends with Hasura. Come see a backend that works with any framework on any stack, with permissions, caching, real-time data, event triggers, and more. You'll learn not only what Hasura is, but how it can be used to help you write better full-stack apps, faster.

JSON Web Tokens, or JWTs for short, are all over the web. They can be used to track bits of information about a user in a very compact way and can be used in APIs for authorization purposes. Join me and learn what JWTs are, what problems it solves, how you can use JWTs, and how to be safer when using JWTs on your applications.
