The Art of Building Node.js Projects at Scale

Raymond Feng explains how to build large-scale Node.js applications using TypeScript and the architectural patterns of LoopBack 4.

It's super easy to start developing in Node.js, but challenges will get in the way as your project grows with more and more modules, components, developers, teams, and releases. If you are building on an open framework or large-scale application, you probably have increasing number of hmm moments in deciding between Be less opinionated and Don't repeat yourself. This talk will share our experience in building LoopBack 4 with TypeScript and illustrate techniques, tools, and patterns proven to faciliate developing Node.js projects at scale. What's even better is that LoopBack 4 builds an extensible and composable foundation with a set of design patterns into the framework to help you create open APIs or applications that are positioned to scale in various perspectives.
