On Thursday, **June 19th**, we’re bringing the sixth edition of ZurichJS to life with a server-sized dose of JavaScript energy. 🌞

We’re going to be tuning into the pulse of **NodeJS** infrastructure and high-performance front-end frameworks like **Qwik**.

#### **Bonus Workshop on June 18th**

Before ZurichJS lights up the stage on June 19th, Matteo Collina is running a premium 2 hour workshop: **Node.js: More Threads Than You Think** the day before.

In this session, Matteo will explore the multi-threaded capabilities of NodeJS, covering the Worker Threads API, thread communication, and performance tools like Piscina and Watt.

For this edition, we have **two confirmed PRO talks**, as well as **one lighting talk** *slot that is still available* (a quick 3-5 min bit to share).

#### **Agenda:**

* 18:00 - 18:30 -- **Meet & greet**
* 18:30 - 18:55 -- **Do not thrash the NodeJS Event Loop \~** [Matteo Collina](https://www.linkedin.com/in/matteocollina/)
*Deploying Node.js at scale is an art mastered by few. The most common problem is an exhaustion of resources that allows the application to denial of service itself. The result is Node.js systems that are massively overprovisioned, wasting enormous amounts of computing and memory - keeping most of them idle.*
*In this talk, we will do some math, discover hard truths, and implement a fix.*
* 19:00 - 19:25 -- **Qwik Go For 💯** **\~** [Wout Mertens](https://www.linkedin.com/in/woutmertens/)
*The bar for high-performing websites keeps rising, and it's a critical factor for both user experience and search rankings. While achieving good scores is possible, it often requires significant effort and ongoing maintenance.*
*In this talk, I'll show how Qwik makes it easy to achieve top web metrics, automatically, even as your application scales.*
*We'll dive into Qwik's optimizer, explore the power of resumability and JS streaming, and uncover how its reactivity system works to deliver blazing-fast web experiences. Effortlessly.*
* 19:30 - 19:40 - ⚡ **Lightning Talk -- TBD - [Submit your proposal here](https://zurichjs.com/cfp)**
* 19:45 onwards -- *Meet and network with fellow JavaScripters*

#### **Who's the awesome sponsor?**

**Platformatic** is an open-source platform that simplifies backend development by providing tools to quickly build and deploy APIs with GraphQL, REST, and SQL capabilities, enabling developers to efficiently develop and run APIs at scale.
With growing demands of SaaS applications, the amount of API permutations has grown exponentially and has become a development bottleneck, which led large organizations to create dedicated platform API engineering teams to help teams deliver on business demands.
*Platformatic simplifies API development, removing friction from the day-to-day of backend developers.*
