JSFoo: round the year submissions

The fundamental performance characteristics of Node.js make it ideal for building highly performant microservices for a number of workloads. Translating that into highly responsive, scalable solutions however is still far from easy. This session will not just discuss why Node.js is a natural fit for microservices, but will introduce you to the tools and best practices for creating, building, deploying, monitoring and tracing microservices that are both scalable and fault tolerant, and show through a live demo how do that with minimal effort.

Outline

1. Illustrate performance characteristics of language runtimes
2. Illustrate memory characteristics of language runtimes
3. Illustrate startup characteristics of language runtimes
4. Illustrate availability of frameworks of language runtimes
5. Illustrate developer productivity of languages
6. Prove Node.js as a natural fit for microservices
7. Showcase tools and best practices for creating, building, deploying, monitoring and tracing Node.js microservices
