It was great to be a part of the amazing DevFest Romania experience this year in Cluj-Napoca! Developers, tech enthusiasts and students from Cluj, Bucharest, Brasov, Pitesti and Timisoara shared their experience and knowledge on Android, Cloud and Web development. There were 20 presentations and 16 rockstar speakers, including our colleague Gabriel Rosu, Roweb co-founder and project manager.
His Web track presentation, “Node.js in real life”, focused on Dependency Injection Pattern, Test Driven Development and best practices for creating a solid architecture for your Node.js app. Attendees learned how they can leverage Node’s higher performance and scalability to build more powerful solutions, real-time data-intensive apps and scalable service architectures.
Node.js is a platform that’s built on Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine and relies on an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model. It operates on a single-thread, employs callbacks and promotes modularity, making it lightweight, highly productive and inexpensive to test and deploy using pay-as-you-grow services.
