Keynote: Breaking Transmission Chains with JavaScript - Cian Ó Maidín, President and Founder, Nearform
One of the greatest responses to COVID-19 has been technological. The brightest minds in the technology industry came together to create a new system to digitally track the virus at a scale, while respecting people’s privacy.

In 2020, NearForm developed what is now the most widely adopted COVID-19 Exposure Notification app in the world. Over five months, the team deployed and scaled their digital contact tracing solution for nine governments.

In this talk, Cian will share the challenges of building an app for all, the importance of getting it right from the start, while working to tight deadlines against an ever evolving pandemic. Cian will discuss how NearForm used an open source approach to public health to help break chains of transmission and save lives using JavaScript.

Keynote: Making JavaScript on WebAssembly Fast - Lin Clark, Senior Principal Software Engineer, Fastly

JavaScript in the browser runs many times faster than it did two decades ago. And that happened because the browser vendors spent that time working on intensive performance optimizations in their JavaScript engines.

Because of this optimization work, JavaScript is now running in many places besides the browser. But there are still some environments where the JS engines can’t apply those optimizations in the right way to make things fast.

We’re working to solve this, beginning a whole new wave of JavaScript optimization work. We’re improving JavaScript performance for entirely different environments, where different rules apply. And this is possible because of WebAssembly. In this talk, I'll explain how this all works and what's coming next.

Keynote: Game Design Thinking + Social Justice - Ashlyn Sparrow, Assistant Director, Weston Game Lab at University of Chicago
Games are the largest cultural and entertainment forms of our time. Pre-Covid, thousands of players would gather in parks to play Pokémon Go, or in large stadiums to see international teams play a game of League of Legends. These numbers have continued to grow with games like Animal Crossing: New Horizon, selling more than 26 million copies since March 2020, and over half a billion users playing Among Us in November 2020. Games have consumed much of our time, attention, and capital. Games are so popular, that they have begun to influence our everyday lives. The practice of “gamification”, using game mechanics in traditionally nongame activities, is all around us. Fitocracy, Fitbit, and MyFitnessPal, Nike+ have gamified exercise, Khan Academy gamified education and learning, while consumer rewards programs, have even gamified loyalty. The language of competition, leaderboards, and points have taken over mundane aspects of our lives. But, can we use games and game design thinking to shift our relationship to the world and design a more just society?

In this session, Sparrow will reorienting the affordances of games and invite participants to think critically about how our society has been designed, who it’s been designed for, and who it’s been designed by.

Lightning Talk: Building a Community Inside your Company - Jean Burellier, Euler Hermes (Allianz Group)
Most of the successful Open Source projects are here today because of a community. From directly contributing to the code or helping others by providing guides and answering questions. We can even considerate it as a standard practice now. But do you have this kind of community inside your company ? Do you have a circle of peers to discuss about technical decisions at a bigger level than just few people ? For most of the companies this community doesn't exist and this group is limited to your team. In this talk I want to present how you can foster this kind of community and how it can greatly improve both the life of all the people and the quality of your IT products

Lightning Talk: Node-RED installer, Standalone Installer using Electron - Kazuhito Yokoi, Hitachi, Ltd.
Recently, the visual programming tool, Node-RED has been used in factories to control industrial hardware based on the sensor and image data. Because non-IT engineers can easily develop their original programs without coding, the Node-RED has become crucial to make factories modern. To adopt Node-RED to the real factories in the closed network, Hitachi encountered issues to place servers and update software components because almost JavaScript technologies tend to require the online environment to download the components from the Internet. To solve the problem, they have utilized Electron to create a single package that includes all components related to Node-RED. Furthermore, based on their experiences using Electron, they started the "Node-RED installer" project under the OpenJS Foundation. In this presentation, he explains the project and demonstration in factory use cases.

(Ͼ˳Ͽ)...Check-my-repo!!! - Paloma Oliveira, Sauce Labs
A demanding and complex Open Source Program Offices’ task is to guarantee the health of its organization repositories. Aiming to help OSPOs and OS communities, we, at Sauce Labs, created Check-My-Repo, an automated tool built upon Repolinter, that verifies the main necessary parameters to comply with OS best practices: from Readme to License. By automating this verification OSPO’s maintenance is more effective and effortless, and can help your organization to have compliant software projects easier to service, test, upgrade, and maintain. Built with Node.js, Repolinter and Vue.js, it is designed to run local and automated, displaying results on GitHub page. Just fork it and adjust it to your own configurations using a simple json file. That easy :) This talk is about the importance of such a tool, how it was designed and the benefits it brings to your organization.

A Robust, Modular UI Automation Framework with WebdriverIO - Olga Smolyar, InterSystems
Including automated UI testing as part of a DevOps pipeline has become an industry-standard practice. A variety of tools are available, both open-source and commercial, that provide APIs for simulating user interaction with a web interface. WebdriverIO has emerged as the leading javascript-based platform for functional and UI testing, providing an array of protocols, services, and BDD/TDD frameworks.  
Historically, UI automation has been a brittle undertaking, requiring considerable effort to safeguard test suites against flakiness and unreliable results. WebdriverIO addresses some of the inherent instability intrinsically.
Harnessing the full power of any UI automation tool requires the use of strategies to build a robust framework on top of the interaction layer provided by its APIs. We discuss here some of these strategies in the context of a modular, flexible and robust functional testing framework built with WebdriverIO and Cucumber.

Automation as a Core IT Principle - Jean Burellier, Euler Hermes (Allianz Group)
With the rise of micro services more and more project are now split between multiples repositories. As this change ease the comfort of writing code and tests the solutions it also greatly increase the number of projects and so the time needed to handle everything from configuration to maintenance. With the serverless architecture this trend is having an even greater impact on productivity. One micro service can now be split on more than 30 projects and each time you would have to update a dependence you now have to do it 30 times. But each company can easily overcome this hurdles by spending a bit of time improving their process thanks to automation. In this talk I will show you and share some feedback on how a small team can handle more than 100 serverless functions thanks to automation.

Developer Workflow Automation with GitHub Actions (CI/CD) - Brian Douglas, GitHub
The goal of DevOps has stayed the same, but our tools, infrastructure, and operating models have changed. To support modern software delivery, it’s critical for organizations to establish and share proven developer workflows. This talk will cover how existing projects are using GitHub Action with the hope that all projects despite their size can benefit collectively from knowledge sharing. The benefit of Actions is that the majority are open source. Plan to this talk leave with ideas on how you can automate new portions of your software development workflow and gain insight from open-source projects by peaking into their actions folder. To name a few, Octokit, Babel, and Next.js.

Kubernetes for Everyone - Sendil Kumarn, Uber
The presentation will be structured as follows: What is the problem with running your services at scale? > The whole process of building, deploying, service discovery, load-balancing, routing, tracing, auth, graceful failures, rate limits, and more—is cumbersome and involves many moving parts. It is complex and nightmare for anyone running their services at scale. How does K8s help to run the services at scale? > Let us explore how the K8s container management system, can simplify many of the operational challenges and it includes how to deploy NodeJS services on K8s. What is K8s and how does it work? > K8s is the de facto standard for running containerized applications. K8s groups containers that make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery. We will deep dive into how K8s is architected and how makes it easy to run services at scale.

Shifting-left and Right to Test a web app with CI - Nikolay Advolodkin, Sauce Labs
Automated testing by a developer is still a topic that is heavily contested. Developers continue to struggle to understand how to test their apps, when to test, and how to put this all together into a continuous integration pipeline. This process can be surprisingly simple with the combination of the right tools. In this live-coding session developers will learn how to create a web-app using React. Afterward, we will shift-left by adding some automated unit tests using Jest. Next, we will shift-right by adding some functional tests using Cypress.io. Finally, the developers will learn how to continuously build and test the web app through a Github workflow. By the end of the session, the developers will: - Learn a bit about unit testing with Jest - Learn Cypress for functional testing - Put all of this together into a CI pipeline that builds and tests in a continuous manner.

Wrap WebdriverIO to Build your Test Framework - Soumya Mukherjee, APTY.IO
Although WebdriverIO is an extremely powerful and simple tool to use, most of the folks find it extremely difficult to create test framework with WebdriverIO and eventually dropout using the same. Through this presentation and the demo's, Soumya will show quick cool tweaks that you can perform on the tool to successfully build a test framework with WebdriverIO. He will show how WebdriverIO is actually a very simple tool to use. He will also talk about how you can scale thousand's of your tests in no time and perform multiple browser testing with ease with centralised reporting with Allure where you can preserve the historical information of the runs.

Write Great Code, in the Cloud - Linda Nichols, Microsoft
Developers love best practices and have strong opinions about our tools. We’re always improving our processes so we can write the most efficient and maintainable code. Our static code analysis tools are a requirement for development. All of our code is stored in revision control systems and we can’t accept updates that haven’t been unit tested. This is how we write great code. Let’s talk about writing code in a cloud environment. "Serverless" ecosystems can remove the complexity of environments, runtimes, and frameworks. Do our typical development processes change when most of our environment is abstracted away from us? I want to discuss how to maintain best practices in the cloud where there is more management and abstraction. I'll also show some new (and old) tools for development and DevOps to facilitate "serverless" development.

JavaScript the Grumpy Parts - Rob Richardson, @rob_rich
We love JavaScript, but we must admit: it's weird. Why does `this` behave as it does? How does variable scope work? Why do we have such comical behavior when comparing mixed types? Let's pull back the covers of these scenarios, and learn how it truly works. You may find a new reason to fall in love with JavaScript.

Responsible Coding for a Better Future - Lucile Jerber & Stephane Rodet, IBM
Digital services play an integral part in our daily lives. Many great things resulted from it but also many undesirable side effects. For example, digital services are responsible for 4% of global CO2 emissions, more than aviation.

As a developer, we can wonder what can we do to be more responsible in our work and reduce the negative side effects of it. How can we work on being more inclusive? On making our apps more accessible? How can we reduce the energy consumption of our software?

Join us to discuss what is responsible code and what can we do to implement it in our work.

Take the Leap into Open Source Projects - Tim Lai, SmartBear Software
Regardless of experience or expertise, many developers seem intimidated or hesitant to start working on open source projects. You might be a first-time contributor to open source, or a first-time contributor to a larger project, or perhaps you are a first-time maintainer or community manager. Remote work and asynchronous communication don’t make this any easier. However, the steps you take to be a successful open source contributor is much like onboarding to a new job. Tim Lai, software engineer at SmartBear and maintainer of open source projects, SwaggerUI, SwaggerEditor, and SwaggerClient, discusses specific strategies that have proven successful to 1) alleviate developer angst, 2) produce meaningful pull requests that match your expertise, and 3) create a roadmap to becoming a frequent open source contributor.

Web Monetization and the Future of Advertising - Briana Marbury, Interledger Foundation
Current payment structures on the web are broken and unfair. 70% of digital ad spending go to two of the internet’s highest traffic platforms, which leave out a large population of developers and content creators from making a meaningful profit from their work. Until recently the web did not have native payment functionality built into its DNA, inefficient advertising business models were able to blossom and have continued to bloom. Fortunately, the introduction of Interledger has made it possible to disrupt and equalize existing payment structures. By enabling a web browser to stream micropayments, the Interledger has helped pave the way for Web Monetization, a proposed W3C standard. This presentation will focus on how Web Monetization can help ensure developers and creators are compensated for their work via an open, native, efficient, and automatic way to transfer money on the web.

What is Open Source? - Tobie Langel, UnlockOpen
Open source is a deep part of software engineer culture. Yet we struggle to define it clearly. Depending on who you ask, open source is anything from a set of practices and norms to a simple software license. What arguably feels like a fairly pedantic discussion turns out to have real world impact. In the last couple of years, our community has been shaken by high profile projects adopting much more restrictive licenses, which some have started to call faux-pen source. This licensing shift isn't so unexpected when you consider it through the perspective of norms and practices rather than the fairly narrow one of licensing. Approaching open source through this broader and more intuitive lens gives us much better tools to understand the whole open source ecosystem, foster behaviors that are beneficial to its community, and consistently predict bad outcomes early. We should adopt it.

Building Modern Native Add-ons for Node.js in 2021 - Kevin Eady, Hive Streaming & Gabriel Schulhof
Quickly get up to speed developing modern Node.js native addons. This fast-paced talk, presented by members of the Node-API team for all native add-on developers, covers recent enhancements to Node-API. Support for multi-threaded and asynchronous programming in Node-API has been significantly improved. New abstractions such as thread-safe functions and the Addon class greatly simplify the effort needed to implement asynchronous add-ons. New helper methods support date objects, BigInts, retrieving object property names, and detaching ArrayBuffers. Tools used to build and deploy native add-ons also continue to improve. Developers can build with CMake.js in addition to node-gyp. Prebuilding binaries significantly improves the experience of native add-on users. Deployment options permit serving these binaries from GitHub releases or bundling the binaries in the npm module itself.

Node.js: The New and the Experimental - Bethany Griggs, Red Hat
Node.js core does not have an official roadmap - it’s the sum of the interests and efforts of the contributors that determine the future of the project. The evolution of a new feature in Node.js can take different twists and turns. Some new features land as experimental, to give time to gather user feedback before they’re considered stable. Other features will land as stable from the start. So what’s in the pipeline?

One Source to Rule them All - John Niedzwiecki, Disney Streaming Services
We live in a world of applications. There’s a constant tug-of-war between wanting to maintain only one source code versus our app having a home everywhere our users are found. With Angular, we can write web apps that run great on both desktops and on mobile. When combined with NativeScript, we can take the next step and run our JavaScript natively on mobile devices. We’ll look at how to create both a web app and a native iOS and Android application from one codebase, sharing our code between the web and native. Together we can forge our apps using the power of Angular and Nativescript and finally have one source to rule them all. One Source to rule them all, One Source to find them, One Source to bring them all and in the Nativescript bind them.

Shiver My Timbers! Migrating yargs to ECMAScript Modules - Benjamin Coe, Google
The ECMAScript Modules standard has existed for 11 years, but it was only in April 2020 that the Node.js implementation was marked stable. Up until this point, it was difficult for the npm community to truly adopt modules, given the importance of Node.js to JavaScript tooling. Stability declared, library authors can now start thinking about a future that includes modules. ECMAScript Modules create exciting possibilities for library authors: it's now possible to target multiple JavaScript platforms, such as Deno, Node.js, and the modern web; modules have a separate loading step, making it possible to perform optimizations like tree shaking; and, they're standards backed. In this talk, Ben provides a recipe for releasing libraries that support both CommonJS (require statements) and ECMAScript modules (import and export statements), based on their experience migrating the library yargs.

Testing EcmaScript Modules - David Mark Clements
Browsers and Node.js have gone through an evolution with regard to their module systems. In Node we're in the middle of a transition between CommonJS Modules (CJS), the original Node module system, and EcmaScript Modules (ESM), the TC39 specification for a JavaScript module system. As it stands, ESM is something of a black box and this can make testing a challenge. In this talk, David Mark Clements explains the testing strategy and supporting libraries he developed for testing ESM implementations, particular when it comes to mocking ESM dependencies.

The Phantom of the App: Background Services - Maxim Salnikov, Microsoft
Your user closes the browser tab and your excellent frontend app immediately disappears. But what if you want to build even better UX by keeping a portion of your app always alive - to send & receive events, to finish network operations, and to run some code even when a user does not have your website open? During my session, let's explore all the possibilities we have in the Service Worker-driven APIs to create true Phantoms of our apps. All for good: to keep the app itself and content always fresh, network operations - resilient, and user - notified

Type-safe GraphQL with TypeScript - Aaron Powell, Microsoft
When building with GraphQL you define the schema up front and this can be really handy go use when it comes to writing the queries, resolvers, etc., especially if it’s in TypeScript. So, how do you go about doing the type generation? We’ll take a look at a tool that can generate you the TypeScript types, then implement our backend using them before looking at how they can plug into the front end with React Hooks. We’ll cap off by learning how to model our storage platform effectively using its own types and combine them with the GraphQL schema types.

Aligning Node.js with the Web Platform - James M Snell, NearForm
There's always been an argument that Node.js is not a Web Browser and therefore shouldn't act like one, and while that's true in many respects, there's still significant benefit in ensuring that JavaScript that works in the browser works the same way on the server. In recent years a great deal of effort has gone into aligning Node.js with the Web Platform, including implementation of the WHATWG URL API, TextEncoder, Intl, and more. Node.js 15 has moved even closer with the addition of EventTarget, AbortController, and the Web Crypto API. This talk will introduce developers to the new Web Platform superpowers that are now built in to Node.js and pull the curtain back on ongoing efforts for what may be coming in the near future.

JavaScript Powered Smart Home With (Almost) No Code - Joel Lord, MongoDB
Smart things around the house are nice, but let’s face it, most of these devices are rather dumb. An application can typically control the machines, but they can’t make decisions independently. To do so, you need to add some sensors and find a way to have your controllers communicate with each other. To manage all the information coming from these sensors, you will need an application, and this is where Node-RED comes into play. This low-code programming tool lets the user build flows for event-driven applications. It makes it easy to process events, manipulate data and trigger other events. Once all of the flows are detailed, the runtime can be deployed locally or in the cloud quickly with a container. In this presentation, the attendees will see how to use Node-RED and low-code technology to make smart devices smarter with additional sensors.

Unlocking High Performing Teams with Open Source - Tracy Miranda, Linux Foundation
The Open Source software community has inspired a legion of users and developers that have taken the idea to incredible heights. That's not entirely unique to Open Source; many popular applications are the subject of meetups, user groups and even entire conferences. What can we learn from this community? By now, most of the IT community has read the “Accelerate State of DevOps” report from DORA and Google. It reveals data and benchmarks about the performance for which all companies aspire to achieve. For example, elite performers are 1.75x more likely to make extensive use of Open Source Software and are 1.5x more likely to be expanding their use of Open Source Software. But how do we get to high performance? In this talk, I will share how Open Source is the key to unlocking high performance using DORA metrics as a roadmap to achievement. I will share steps in a process such as the adoption of continuous improvement programs, identification of unique constraints, and discovering where you can swarm resources to solve the most critical challenges first.

Can we Double the Node.js HTTP Client Throughput? - Matteo Collina, NearForm
The Node.js HTTP client is a fundamental part of any application, yet many think it cannot be improved. I took this as a challenge and I’m now ready to present a new HTTP client for Node.js, undici, that doubles the throughput of your application The story behind this improvement begins with the birth of TCP/IP and it is rooted in one of the fundamental limitations of networking: head-of-line blocking (HOL blocking). HOL blocking is one of those topics that developers blissfully ignore and yet it deeply impacts the runtime experience of the distributed applications that they build every day. Undici is a HTTP/1.1 client that avoids HOL blocking by using keep-alive and pipelining, resulting in a doubling of your application throughput.

Demystifying Database Performance Issues with sqlcommenter - Jan Kleinert & Bala Chandrasekaran, Google
Have you ever tried to troubleshoot a database performance issue in an application that was built using an ORM? ORMs can simplify development of applications that communicate with databases, but since the ORMs are generating the SQL statements, it can be difficult to determine which application code is resulting in slow queries. sqlcommenter is an open source library that enables ORMs to augment SQL statements with comments about the about the code that caused its execution, making it easier to correlate your application code with the SQL statements that were generated by the ORM. In this session, Jan and Bala will demonstrate how to set up and use sqlcommenter with an application that uses Sequelize.js to diagnose query performance. They'll also touch on the other frameworks and ORMs that sqlcommenter supports as well as how you can view this data in db logs and observability tools.

Hit the Ground Running with WebAssembly - Robert Aboukhalil, Invitae
For over 20 years, JavaScript was the only scripting language you could use reliably in a browser. That all changed a few years ago, when WebAssembly became supported by all major browsers. This talk is a 29,032-foot overview of WebAssembly, why it's awesome, and how to get started using it. As concrete use cases, Robert will mention two open source tools he contributed to where WebAssembly improved performance, and enabled reusing C/C++ code on the web. The talk will also cover upcoming WebAssembly features such as threads and SIMD, and will end with a discussion of use cases where WebAssembly shines (...and when the added complexity might not be worth it!)

Safely Handling Dynamic Data with TypeScript - Ethan Arrowood, Microsoft
TypeScript makes JavaScript safer by adding static type definitions. Static definitions are wonderful; they prevent developers from making trivial mistakes by ensuring every assignment and invocation is done correctly. A variable typed as a string cannot be assigned a number, and a function expecting three arguments cannot be called with only two. These definitions only exist at build time though; the code that is eventually executed is just JavaScript. But what about the response from an API request? In this talk by Ethan Arrowood, Software Engineer 2 @ Microsoft, he will cover various solutions for safely typing dynamic data in TypeScript applications. This talk features popular technologies such as Fastify, JSON Schema, Node.js, and more!

secure.AllTheThings() - Make Security Accessible to Everyone! - Christian Bromann & Justin Dolly, Sauce Labs
Security signals are critically important to ensure the quality and stability of code, especially in production environments (or in CI/CD pipelines). A lack of visibility into security weaknesses in code can represent a significant threat. Wouldn’t you want to know about potential security flaws in your code as early as possible?

While tooling in various areas flourishes, from static code analysis to unit and functional testing, security frameworks often have been limited to subject matter experts, rarely used by developer and QA teams and audits, if at all, run at the very end of the software development lifecycle. With the shift-left spirit we believe this has to change. Adding security checks early to your pipeline can save time and brings awareness and exposure of vulnerabilities to developers which ultimately is the silver bullet for security in your company.

In this session, Justin Dolly, Chief Security Officer, and Christian Bromann, Staff Software Engineer of the Open Source Program Office at Sauce Labs, will give exclusive insights on a new platform and a new set of tools designed to test the security of your applications in a simple, effective and very accessible way.
