🗣 Felix Ingram - 11.8Kb of JS to Put Go Back in Charge of the Web
What if you could build fully reactive, real-time collaborative web applications all driven by your Go backend with just 11.85Kb of JavaScript in your browser.
This talk introduces the Northstar stack: Go, NATS, and Datastar:
* Go for the backend
* NATS for communications (event bus, data updates, etc)
* Datastar for frontend reactivity and updates
We'll explore how Datastar's hypermedia-first approach lets you build reactive frontends without a SPA framework, how NATS provides the messaging backbone, and how the Rita event sourcing toolkit gives you a model for managing application state through events rather than mutations.
We'll introduce Datastar, a tiny JavaScript framework that embraces server-side rendering and Server-Sent Events (SSE) to push HTML and state updates directly from the server to the browser. We'll also go over the key differences between Datastar and htmx.
We'll then do an overview of event sourcing with Rita and the CQRS pattern using Go and Datastar, and how these lead to simpler code for your HTTP handlers.
Finally, we'll explore a live demo app that combines all the features we've covered.
8:30pm: To the pub!
