The Future of JS Backend: Deno and Decorators
Hosted by Israeli Tech Radar
Details
This special online event is a collaboration between Tikal and Outbrain's frontend guilds! 🦑 ðŸ§
Here's the plan: We'll hear two talks, one on Deno and the other on Decorators. Deno is an up-and-coming technology that might one day grow to replace Node.JS while decorators are an elegant approach for breaking down business logic with common practices.
This session is a great opportunity to get an inside look into the knowledge sharing routines of Tikal and Outbrain, together and apart.

11:00 - 11:30 - Deno - Is Node.js going extinct?
Deno is a promising new runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript that may replace Node.js. Everyone is talking about it like it's the next big thing - Is it?
Through this talk, Evyatar will give an overview of Deno, delve into its core features, and compare them with Node.js using code examples.
In addition, he will try to answer the second biggest question: Is Deno ready for production?

11:30 - 12:00 - Decorators - Focus on what's important
Caching, retries, timeout handling etc, are common practices that are being used in almost any app. By using decorators we can decouple our business logic with the mentioned practices.
In this talk, we will go over some examples of how to write decorators and witness the elegance of this approach.
