Front-end Meetup Skopje #19

For our 19th event, we have two guests from Kiwi.com - a search engine for cheap flights, trains & buses, and an online travel agency.

Martin Zlámal (Senior Frontend Developer) and Michal Sanger (Kiwi.com Principal Engineer and head of the Prague office) will cover two interesting topics that we haven't had so far. Talks will be in English!

Martin Zlámal will give a talk about the "5 essential tools to keep your JS apps sane and scalable".

-- Keeping your JavaScript applications sane and scalable is very challenging and there are no silver-bullet tools for it. Well, actually… I am going to show you how I do it in Kiwi.com and my other projects. Get ready for 5 carefully cherry-picked tools and libraries I consider to be the key players in this heroic task. All in combination with practical tricks, tips, and recommendations from our experiences.

Michal Sanger will talk about "Serverless back-end services for JS developers".

-- Everybody knows JS is for web apps. Not so many currently know JS is great for mobile apps due to React Native. And only a few know JS is a great language for back-end where you don't even have to maintain a server. Do you want to build GraphQL back-end, test your pull requests via headless Chrome and use all the cool JS libs and tools you already like? Pay almost zero for scalable and distributed back-end service? Serverless has all of this and much more.

Instead of the usual schedule, we're having our 19th event on Monday! Time and location remain the same - Hacklab KIKA (Skopje Hacklab 3.0), 7-9 p.m. (CEST)
