On stage

Strapi 5 + Next.js - the modern, Open-Source Stack

Using a modern, open-source stack (Strapi 5 + Next.js) as a case study, we'll do a deep dive into best practices for drafting and previewing your content for blazing-fast and scalable websites.

Design System Patterns for Server Components

Server components change the way we build for the modern web, and design systems must adjust accordingly. So, how do you encapsulate design and interactivity for larger UI elements without compromising performance while taking advantage of the latest features in React and Next.js? In this talk, we’ll explore new patterns for managing forms, state, and interactivity without forcing everything to be a client component. We’ll learn these patterns in the context of VIBES, a brand-new UI library for composable websites.

Building Video-Driven Web Apps with Mux, Strapi, and Next.js

In this talk, we’ll explore the journey of migrating the Mux plugin from Strapi v4 to v5. We'll walk through the challenges faced during the transition, how ultimately created the final version, and explore some of the features of the plugin. Attendees will learn how this migration enhances workflows, reduces complexity, and enables seamless video experiences in modern Next.js applications.

TCP vs. WebSockets vs. HTTP for Postgres queries

In this talk, I will walk you through our journey developing Neon's serverless driver, and experimenting with various protocols and environments to lower Postgres query latencies.

Bringing state to Next.js Serverless Functions with Inngest

Many successful startups, such as Resend and Day.ai, use Inngest’s Durable Functions to build core features relying on workflows and long-running background processes. In this talk, Tony will drive you through the benefits of Durable Functions and how they enable Next.js developers to build SaaSs.
