This data is used as the image layers of mapping websites for many scientific missions. This talk will explore how cloud-native, pure-Javascript apps can assemble and browse large quantities of map data using the JAMstack and Gatsby. Twitter: @garysieling Speaker: Andrew Sprouse, Co-founder and CTO of TakeShape (Techstars ‘19) (7:20-7:30) Title: JAMstack and the TakeShape Mesh Description: One of our favorite things about the JAMstack is how we can use the best services to power our websites and apps. But we also know that it takes way too much work to combine data between services, keep that data in sync between services, and memorize the particulars of each service's API. That's why we're building TakeShape Mesh. This talk will explore the benefits of TakeShape Mesh and how developers can use it to simplify and speed up their JAMstack development. Twitter: @asprouse
