DeveloperWeek New York 2019

As cloud services and deployment platforms have come to bear more and more responsibility for the “Enterprise” features of modern application development, Node.js becomes more appealing for developers who want to take advantage of its light weight, quick startup time, developer productivity and overall happiness. With cloud native application development patterns, supported by a Kubernetes deployment platform, Node.js is a formidable enterprise player. But cloud native application development can seem daunting. How do you both write an application and also deal with DevOps automation, service discovery, observability, image immutability, scalability, failover and all of the other cloud native and enterprise ideals? It’s a lot to keep track of. It’s a lot to do. It’s Scary! But it doesn’t have to be. In this talk I will show you how to make Kubernetes Node.js application deployment simple and straightforward. Take a journey with me to the cloud. By the time we’re done, attendees will have created a Node.js webapp and deployed it to a Kubernetes cluster.
