Web Assembly and the future of the Web

Shane Osbourne

Over the years we've seen many attempts by developers to avoid writing Javascript at all costs - creating new languages that compile into JavaScript is still a common practice in many language communities.

But things are changing, for the better. We're reaching an age where potentially any high-level language will one day be able run in a browser, with greater speed and safety - all thanks to Web Assembly.

This talk will provide practical information about how you can take code written in a shiny new language like Rust, compile it to a Web Assembly module and then execute it in the browser.

Build APIs with node, Lambda & Serverless

Errietta Kostala

AWS lambda allows you to build microservices that can be triggered both through HTTP and other ways such as when something is added to a queue, or on a schedule. We'll show how it is possible to build an API which consists of small, individual functions that respond to different HTTP requests using AWS lambda and API gateway. In addition to this, we will be deploying using serverless within minutes!
