A look into Node.js at Indigo

Welcome back nodesters, we're having our first meetup of 2014. We'll be meeting Feb 25th from 7-9pm at The Working Group, with presentations from the team at Indigo and the NodeBB team.

Kreshnik Mati and Oleg Kirichenko are going to discuss how Node is leveraged at Indigo with their presentation:

"Distributed, Asynchronous, Computing, using Node.js and other tools at Indigo.

Node.js is built around an opinionated choice that all I/O should be asynchronous. This means that the whole Node ecosystem is also asynchronous.Distributed, service oriented architectures have been researched and developed widely for a while, but the rise of asynchronous, reactive systems has opened the doors for loose micro-services that communicate internally with each other and still allow for high throughput.

Working with Node also allows us to use Isomorphic Javascript; code that can run unchanged both in the server and the client. Otherwise called as the 'Holy Grail of Web Development’. We will go through a framework we are currently building that makes use of these concepts."

Julian Lam and the NodeBB team are going to present their forum software and share some interesting Node tricks and tips.

We're looking forward to seeing you all soon. Please make sure to RSVP early to ensure a spot at this meetup.

Cheers,
Neal
