Browser is the new server
We see the great technology unification, with the boundary between the server and the client (browser) becoming blurrier every day. Who has time and budget to write separate code bases? In this presentation I will show the ultimate combination of NPM's two most popular packages: Browserify and Express; and their product that allows to move the complete server to run inside the browser's ServiceWorker. It is like server-side rendering but inside your browser, and even runs when JavaScript is disabled!
I have implemented several unusual hybrids of server and browser in these projects
- Run Express server in your browser using "express-service"
- Transpile missing features in the browser using "babel-service"
