What if you could use code the same way you use Netflix or Spotify?

Imagine your entire code base organized as small components on the cloud, where you can import only what you need into any workspace. In fact, you can create an ad hoc workspace where you can use and modify only the components you need and export them back.

In order to use code on demand, components need to be independent entities, which means that they have to include their source code, configuration and dependencies. This allows you to version them independently and import them into small dynamic workspaces which are then made much easier to navigate, setup and build. Independent component versioning also makes for independent teams, because this separates publishing updates from consuming them.

When all your organization’s components are in the cloud, teams can discover them, discuss changes and visualize relationships, making collaboration between teams much simpler.

Alongside its many advantages, this paradigm shift brings about considerable challenges, which may explain why this is not the standard way to manage code today. This talk is about the tools and methodologies required to overcome these challenges.

We all love components on the frontend, but have you tried them on the backend?

In this live coding session, Gilad, Bit's VP R&D, will show you how to compose component-driven microservices using NodeJS, Express and Bit.

Join him to learn how to:

• Compose 2 component-driven microservices from scratch.

• Easily add, modify, and remove components from your services.

• Share managed components between services to radically speed up backend development.

• Easily manage dependencies and updates between components and services.

• Gradually build a reusable toolbox of backend components.

• Modify and update components in the context of another service or project.

• Avoid configs and have a smooth dev experience.

Let's build an easy, repeatable, and fun developer experience to share code, promote collaboration, and achieve consistency across apps and services.

Microservices architecture has been a popular approach for developing complex backend services, but what about the front-end? Enter micro frontends, an emerging concept that breaks down monolithic front-end code into smaller, more manageable pieces. Each micro frontend is a self-contained unit with its own codebase, development team, and set of dependencies. Unlike backend microservices, micro frontends end up being composed into a single frontend application.

There are two main phases where micro frontends can converge into a single application. Some organizations prefer to compose their micro frontends in the client at runtime, while others choose to bundle them together during the build process. This talk will explore the tradeoff between these approaches, examining factors such as team independence, time to ship to production, safe updates, runtime performance, and bundle optimization.

I will demonstrate how we combined these approaches in my organization and will share some tools and processes that will allow you to enjoy the benefits of both worlds.

How smart should you make your house?

Ever wished you can automate everything in your home? Really everything?

For 5 years I’ve been radically automating my house: It finds my phone and reports its location when I ask, it starts boiling water when my baby starts to cry, and it calls my phone when my spouse calls me downstairs.

I won’t lie, it’s pretty awesome.

But a smart home is a powerful servant and a dangerous master.

My home has become a weapon for my kids against me. It tried to sabotage my marriage. It even made me live in the dark. But I survived. In this talk, I will share my experience and raw footage of an experiment gone too far. Together we’ll try to create a useful toolbox of does and don’ts for the brave smart home engineer.

This extended version includs a live demo with me demonstrate a live spin-up of a home assistant using Docker Compose, with some assistance from the GPT3 chat. I even created an automation that changes the color of a lamp when my Mac is connected or disconnected from a power source.

More of today's applications are being built from smaller components and modules. However, the workflow around building with smaller components can also generate a lot of overhead. Bit is an open source project which helps developers discover, use and collaborate on shared components while distributing the development process itself.

In this talk I will introduce Bit, talk about the challenges and opportunities of building a core piece of your technology with the community, the challenges of having to play hand in hand with the rapidly-changing open source ecosystem (from Git & NPM to Webpack and React) and share some insights for teams who want to open source some of their projects

Sharing components between apps speeds our development and provides a better experience for our users.The key to effective, scalable code-sharing lies in the architecture and tools we choose. In this talk I'll review the growth, pros and cons of this ecosystem from shared libraries through monorepos to new tools, and show a live demo of Bit- an open source project we created and use to share components between apps.

React encourages us to compose our application's UI from smaller reusable components.

Every button, slider or card is a component while larger elements can be composed out of smaller components to create new applications.

But, what happens when we want to share and reuse these components?

In this talk, we'll dive into this question and learn how different architectures, from multi-repo to monorepo, affect our team's ability to share and reuse components. We'll explore how different tools in the ecosystem play a role in this use case, and learn how Bit can help us isolate and share large numbers of components, making them available to discover, use and develop anywhere in a distributed workflow. The session will include a live coding demo session and Q&A.

Gilad Shoham leads Bit's core open source team. He previously led a Javascript team at Sisense and is a lifelong contributor and speaker in the dev community.

In this talk, I’ll talk about why building an online resume site is a good idea, how it can increase your chances to get a job , and why React is a great tool for this purpose.

I’ll give a live demonstration of a tool that can help you build those components easily and view them beautifully rendered in seconds.

This talk will change everything you know about testing.You’re used to thinking about tests as a passive tool which helps you learn about your application’s state.In this talk, I’ll show you how to take testing to the next level where tests can actually change your code, and become an active player in your development process.I will also talk about the relation between code modularity and writing tests, and show a live demo of how with the right tools you can adopt this approach today.

This talk is about making the GraphQL consumer happier, which will serve our goal as publishers, to increase adoption.

During this talk, I’ll describe a way for an organization to use components as a way to accelerate its GraphQL adoption. This GraphQL can be a public to everyone or public to the organization only.

I’ll describe the current problems with publishing and adopting APIs, and demonstrate a live demo of integrating GitHub GraphQL into my own project in few minutes by using components pre built by the publisher, without the need of reading any documentation (which as developers we hate doing).
