Full-stack React Native in the Era of Serverless Computing
Nader Dabit at React Amsterdam 2019
With the emergence of more & more powerful & sophisticated managed services like Algolia, AWS AppSync, Cloudinary, Auth0, Amazon Rekognition & Firebase it's now completely possible for front-end engineers to build full-stack web & mobile applications while with almost no back-end code, relying on these services to do the heavy lifting for features like data layers, search, authentication, & authorization & using serverless glue functions to handle what’s left. In this talk, I'll talk about this philosophy in depth, discuss the options available from different service providers, & then show how (live-code) to build a full-stack React Native application in just a few minutes by using React & AWS Amplify React Native to quickly build a real-world app complete with a GraphQL API, analytics, search, authentication & authorization.
