Title of your topic
Concurrency in NodeJS
Topic description
NodeJS has fantastic I/O performance for a seemingly single-threaded computing model due to its ability to handle such tasks asynchronously. But this fails for CPU-bound tasks that block threads. Before the current NodeJS LTS version, computationally heavy tasks could be farmed out to child processes, taking advantage of multicore CPUs, but processes do not share memory and inter-process communication adds significant overhead. Multithreading support landed in NodeJS as of v10.5.0, and is still flagged as an experimental API. We can now process tasks in separate threads with shared memory, but this power does not come for free. We'll compare the implementation and performance of a multithreaded NodeJS web server with that of some other industry solutions, and see how we can manage shared memory and orchestrate threads using buffers and atomics.

Using Nuxt generate for building static web applications
Topic description
NuxtJS is a framework for VueJS that helps in building applications in single page (SPA) mode or universal mode (SSR)
SPA apps can be easily deployed on cloud storage such as Google Cloud Storage, AWS S3, Now, Netlify but it takes time for the app to be loaded and SEO is a problem as there are no pre-generated content.
SSR apps address the issues of load speed and SEO but requires a backend server to serve the content.
So to get the best of both worlds. We use Nuxt generate.
This talk will focus on the use of Nuxt generate, its advantages, its pitfalls. We will also be looking at few things which one may need to take note of when using nuxt generate, such as:
- handling dynamic routing
- use of dynamically created Vuex modules
