AGENDA:

Hold my Context! (EN)
Miroslav Bajtoš

Abstract:
Preserving contextual data across asynchronous calls has always been tricky in Node.js land. For example, how to pass information about the current user or a correlation (transaction) id from the code processing incoming HTTP requests to the code calling a backend web service? Traditional runtimes like C and Java can utilize thread-local storage, which does not work for Node's single-threaded event loop.

The talk will describe different solutions people have been using (and abandoning) over the past 8+ years, dive into the history of domains and async hooks, and explain what's so difficult about context keeping. Finally, I'll discuss the AsyncLocalStorage API stabilised in Node.js 16 and show how to use it in practice.

Karel Žoha | Pricefx
