Talks
Welcome to Decentralized Finance
Banking systems are like 30-year-old washing machines. Old, boring, but kinda work…? Let’s reinvent them with DeFi! We are going to glimpse into the future of finance and explore what a javascript developer can do to make our banking reality brighter.
Push notifications: can’t live with em, can’t live without em
Consider how many notifications you get per day... and now consider the millions of other people who are also receiving notifications. 16 million notifications a day that have places to be and people to see, in a race against time, load, and latency. So what happens behind the scenes to ensure that all those notifications get where they need to go, and quickly? A combination of auto-scaling, rabbitmq, scrupulous monitoring, and a tireless dev team. In this talk I’ll discuss the functionality of the message bus at the core of Vonage’s communications platform, the powerful Node scripts that power the entire operation, and how you can use similar solutions for a number of different challenges.
CI/CD with GitHub actions
