6:45 PM - Talks begin…

🔐The brief History of JWTs, auth, etc... - Ben Dechrai (@bendechrai) - 30min:
Gracing us from the wilds of Melbourne, Ben has come up to the sunny side to impart a wealth of knowledge with a staunch focus on security and privacy (thanks in part to his tenure as a developer advocate for Auth0). Come learn about OAuth, OpenID Connect, and JSON Web Tokens; how they work, and how they can simplify your projects, from single-page apps to the APIs that drive them, and everything in between.

⏱Networking during intermission - 25min:
Pizza thanks to PCCW Global's Brisbane team & Drinks thanks to Just Digital People :-)

🏎"Just in Time" Serverless Rendering with Lambda - Maurice Butler (@ButlerMaurice) - 20min
BrisJS organiser alumnus from way back returns! When it comes to optimal SEO and pages shareable to social media, there is no option your first html payload needs to be informative. To do so you can use server-side rendering or build-time static rendering, but these methods all fall apart when doing anything more complex than a TODO app or you add dynamic data and authentication into the mix. So this is how Maurice tricked AWS Lambda into doing a hybrid "Just in Time" render of their public-facing, dynamic data-driven, heavily SEO and social sharing reliant pages.

🛳Deployment Of Your Web Applications on AWS - Shrey Khanna (Github: Shreykhanna) - 20min:
If you prefer to get a nice fluffy cloud of resources on AWS instead of going completely serverless in the cloud; Shrey has you covered with a good intro to AWS, what is used for deployment, and will run us through a live demo of the process including the AWS security general best practices. Getting to the cloud as a developer? Here's your dev focused primer.
