Node.js Meetup #45 (Pizza 🍕 and Drinks 🍺)

## Details

### Presentations 📽️

Talk One: Writing Typescript functions that can run anywhere!
Yasser Fadl

Most frameworks promise “deploy anywhere,” but usually only for HTTP routes. The moment you add WebSockets, queues, or message buses, things get messy fast.

Join me for a talk on how to build backend platforms that are truly platform-agnostic: able to run anywhere, from a single process to multiple VMs to fully serverless in the cloud — and switch between them in minutes.

We’ll dive into writing WebSocket code that can run serverless, building type-safe queues, and see live examples of this philosophy in action with Pikku.dev.

Talk Two: A Triplestore-Powered BaaS: Real-Time Collaboration Without the Backend

Backend-as-a-Service platforms promise simplicity, but often lock developers into complex APIs authorization rules. What if your frontend could directly manage data, authorization, and collaboration - without domain-specific backend code?

In this talk, Oliver shares how he built a triplestore-based BaaS to power real-time collaboration in his side project MonsterWriter, and how the approach grew into an independent open-source project. We’ll see how LinkedRecords enables fine-grained authorization, simplifies real-time collaboration, and supports a Bring Your Own Backend model that gives organizations more control over their data and vendor relationships.
