Talk #1 Abstract:
If the idea of interactively rendering over 5 million data points at 60fps in a mobile browser sounds exciting, then this talk is for you! Learn about the latest in [deck.gl](https://github.com/sfnode/sfnode/issues/deck.gl), a framework designed to simplify high-performance, WebGL2 (and now, WebGPU!) based visualization of large data sets, along with Open Visualization, the OpenJS members responsible for deck.gl's open governance.

Talk #2 Abstract:
Building reliable applications is hard! Let's say you're building the backend of an online store and your server is interrupted while a customer is completing an order. How do you recover the order without losing data or double-charging the customer? I'm working on an open-source framework (DBOS Transact) that makes this easier with reliable workflows: programs that, when interrupted, always resume from exactly where they left off. In this talk, I'll discuss how we implement and optimize reliable workflow execution in native TypeScript on top of Postgres.
Speaker: Peter Kraft
Open mic
Open mic time gives attendees 2-3 minutes of time to talk to the entire group. This is the time to debut a new project, announce upcoming events or let people know they're hiring.
