LEARN FROM THE BEST TRAINERS IN THE CLOUD

Basic Node.js Concepts

The "Basic Node.js Concepts" workshop overviews Node.js architecture and platform design patterns. The workshop focuses on built-in modules usage, including practical task with file system challenge and VSCode live share experience. Topics: Introduction to Node.js, NPM overview, HTTP Server Example, Structure, Callbacks, NPM, Features of package.json, File System Built-In Module Practice

Web Servers with Express and TypeScript

The "Web Servers with Express and TypeScript" workshop focuses on the Node.js web servers topic. We start with Express overview, touch key framework' concepts and features. We continue with a serie of practical exercises to build own http server. We finish with a glance on the TypeScript language in Node.js world, uncover main concepts of modern frameworks built on top of Express, such as Nest.js and Ts.ED.

Learn Fastify One Plugin at a Time

Fastify is an HTTP framework for Node.js that focuses on providing a good developer experience without compromising on performance metrics. What makes Fastify special are not its technical details, but its community which is wide open for contributions of any kind. Part of the secret sauce is Fastify plugin architecture that enabled developers to write more than a hundred plugins.

This hands-on workshop is structured around a series of exercises that covers from basics "hello world", to how to structure a project, perform database access and authentication.

Broken Promises

In our experience, if you are using promises, you are likely using them wrong (and nearly everybody else is too). This is most often due to misunderstandings about how Promises work, choices that were made by TC39 when designing the promises API, inconsistencies in how Promises are used, or failure to account for the cost of using Promises in an application, and ultimately how the event loop works. In this workshop, we aim to help developers do the right thing with Promises. Through a series of hands on exercises and puzzles, developers will learn the ins and outs of developing with Promises in Node.js, learning everything they should do, and most importantly what they shouldn't do, in order to maximize the effectiveness of their code and avoid common performance pitfalls.

Securing Node Applications with Automated Security Testing in CI/CD

We’ve all heard the buzz around pushing application security into the hands of developers, but if you’re like most companies, it has been hard to actually make this a reality. You aren’t alone - putting the culture, processes, and tooling in place to make this happen is tough - especially for sophisticated applications. Join Scott Gerlach (CSO, StackHawk) and Liran Tal (Developer Advocate, Snyk) as they dive into how you can add AppSec testing to your CI/CD pipeline to ship secure code faster.

IoT Center Workshop

InfluxDB is an open source time series database that empowers developers to build IoT, analytics and monitoring software. It is purpose-built to handle the massive volumes and countless sources of time-stamped data produced by sensors, applications and infrastructure. This workshop showcases a fully functional sample application called IoT Center that is built on InfluxDB. This application demonstrates the capabilities of the InfluxDB platform to develop a JavaScript-enabled time-series-based application. It collects, stores and displays a set of values that include temperature, humidity, pressure, CO2 concentration, air quality, as well as provide GPS coordinates from a set of IoT devices. With this data stored in InfluxDB, the application can query this data for display as well as write data back into the database. This hands-on workshop will show students how to install this open source code to learn how to query and write to InfluxDB using the InfluxDB JavaScript client, and gain familiarity with the Flux lang query language which is designed for querying, analyzing, and acting on time series data. And finally, collect and visualize performance data of the Node JS application.

CDK with Next.js and AWS Amplify Workshop

In this workshop you'll learn how to build cloud-enabled GraphQL back ends with TypeScript, AWS CDK, and AWS AppSync and integrate them with Next.js. We'll build out a multi-user blog, implementing a database with DynamoDB, authentication with Amazon Cognito, and a GraphQL API with AWS AppSync and Lambda and connect to the app from the Next.js client using AWS Amplify. By the end of the workshop, you should have a good understanding of how to build full stack apps on AWS with GraphQL and AWS CDK.

How to Troubleshoot API Errors and Reduce MTTD/R

The benefits of Node.js to develop real-time applications at scale are very well known. As Node.js architectures get more and more complex, visualization of your microservices-based architecture is crucial. However, the visualization of microservices is incredibly complex given the scale and the transactions across them. In this workshop, you will learn how to leverage service maps to instantly understand your architecture and troubleshoot any API error.

We will write a simple Express application and explore best practices when using Express. Then, we’ll deploy the application on AWS, integrate the environment with Epsagon, and deep-dive into various features of the platform to enable immediate detection and fast troubleshooting of application errors. Goals: Visualizing your architecture, monitoring your applications, reducing your mean time to detection and recovery (MTTD and MTTR).

Who should attend? DevOps, Engineers, Cloud Architects, IT, Software Developers, Solution Architects and Engineers, SREs, and anyone who is running microservice-based applications (Kubernetes, containers, serverless functions, and more) in the cloud.

Web APIs with Sails

The "Web APIs with Sails" workshop focuses on creating Node.js web APIs with the Sails framework.

The workshop begins with a beginner's introduction to the Sails framework, we touch on getting started with Sails, installing Sails in your machine, then touch on Sails framework philosophy, concepts, and features.

We continue with the hands-on building of a Web API in Sails from Scratch and test the endpoints with Postman. We round up by writing tests for the endpoints, setting up a GitHub action to run our tests when we push to GitHub then deploy our Web API to Heroku cloud.

Building Serverless Applications on AWS with TypeScript

This workshop teaches you the basics of serverless application development with TypeScript. We'll start with a simple Lambda function, set up the project and the infrastructure-as-a-code (AWS CDK), and learn how to organize, test, and debug a more complex serverless application.
