✅ Angular Query & NGRX Signal Store: A Symbiotic Relationship by Tomasz Ducin
NGRX Signal Store is a completely new approach to managing state in Angular applications. It's commonly known that Angular's future lies in signals - but many people are stuck in whatever has been done for many years, and so they carry on with NGRX - the old one, rxjs-based, and often overcomplicate their frontend solutions.
How is NGRX Signal Store different from its rxjs-based predecessor? Can you integrate the old state management solution with new ones? Finally - is it a good idea? What architectural principles to follow?

In this talk we'll get familiar with the mechanics of NGRX, its technical aspects, tradeoffs, comparisons and how it applies to our daily work and projects.

✅ Don’t Do Monorepo by Jakub Pawlak

Monorepos — big tech giants like Google and Facebook are using them. But should you? In this talk, I’ll challenge the hype around monorepos and share insights from my experience working with Nx. I’ve seen firsthand how the promise of simplicity can lead to unexpected complexities. Along the way, I’ll reveal three critical pitfalls that often go unnoticed until it’s too late. These are issues you won’t find in the docs—and they can derail your team’s productivity if you're not prepared. But don’t worry, I’ll also provide a few crucial hints to help you navigate these hidden dangers.
