Node.js Meetup #44 (Pizza 🍕 and Drinks 🍺)

## Details

### Presentations 📽️

Talk One: Contract-driven development
Alexander Braunreuther

Contract-driven development puts a shared API contract at the center of the engineering process, enabling teams to work in parallel from day one. Your entire Engineering team can all move faster with mocks, generated clients, and automated tooling derived from a single source of truth. This talk shows how a simple contract can streamline collaboration, reduce integration issues, and speed up delivery — all with minimal upfront effort.

Talk Two: PGlite for Fun and Profit
Hendrik Niemann

PGlite, a WASM build of PostgreSQL, offers a new way to run and use my favorite database. In this talk, we’ll explore the technology behind PGlite and look at various use cases. I’ll also share a real-world story about how I used it at my company, traide AI, and the challenges I faced—some of which I overcame, while others are still awaiting solutions.
