LNUG #107 September 2024: Browser File Access APIs and Streaming Wizardry!

šŸ—“ Wednesday, 25 September 2024

šŸ¢ Cloudflare County Hall, Belvedere Rd, London SE1 7GP

Browser File Access APIs to Share Local Capabilities and Data Between Devices

Ben Foxall

@benjaminbenben

Modern browsers have powerful APIs for accessing local files. In this talk, we'll explore these capabilities and how we can combine them with peer-to-peer networking to share capabilities between devices and push edge compute further down to local devices.

Topics covered:

  • File System Access
  • CRDTs (Conflict-free Replicated Data Types)
  • Origin Private File System
  • WebRTC
  • Edge compute

Ben Foxall leads the Robot Web team at Wayve, bringing extensive experience in cutting-edge web technologies and their applications in robotics.

Streaming Magic: Unleashing the Power of Node.js Streams for Data Processing

Brian Evans

https://brianevans.tech

NodeJS provides a brilliant built-in "stream" module for working with data streams. It is well suited for processing large data files and its promises API super-charges working with async iterables, such as paginating items from an API. This talk will feature a real time coding demo of how I've written simple data processing scripts for quick analysis at work, rapidly and effectively crafted using theĀ node:stream/promisesĀ module. I'll also present some bonus developer tips on other use cases for the highly flexible Readable stream API.

Brian Evans is a full stack software engineer working in London using Javascript/Typescript.
