Southwest.js March 2025

We’re back for our first meetup of 2025 & we’re starting big!

RAC are kindly sponsoring this event, so please do thank them on the evening for making this meetup happen!!

RAC have kindly provided speakers for the evening;

• Asa Jones - How platform engineering has transformed the way RAC build, manage, and deploy applications using the RAC CLI, a purpose-built command-line tool which automates everything from project setup to deployment of containers to Azure Kubernetes

• Paul Evans - How the RAC build Next.js applications, quickly and at scale - showing the patterns and practices to standardise configuration, authentication, pr-builds, CI/CD, component libraries and much more

There will be some refreshments to get stuck into on the night 😋 (once again courtesy of our sponsors RAC).

We have another new venue for this meetup, so we will be hosted by Origin Workspace on Berkeley Square – it’s a very cool venue, so you won’t want to miss out!

Here is a quick rundown of what to expect on the night;

• Feel free to arrive from 6:30pm
• There will be refreshments available thanks to our sponsors RAC. It's a great opportunity to meet some new people and do a bit of networking!
• Around 7:15pm, we'll do a quick welcome and will then begin the talks from the real specialists! (With time allotted afterwards for questions & discussions)
• The evening will draw to a close around 9pm, when some people will head over to the Left Handed Giant, should you want to continue the evening!

We’re super-excited to be back already this year and are particularly excited about this event!

We want to say a massive thank you to RAC as without them, this event simply wouldn’t be possible. Being part of the JavaScript scene in the Southwest, they are keen to be actively involved in supporting events such as ours and give back to the community - so thank you from us!

P.s. a quick reminder on etiquette for the evening;

Our speakers give up their own personal time to prepare their talk & deliver it on the night, so please be respectful throughout by keeping any conversations to a minimum & refraining from being on your mobile phone
