Talks
Building production websites with Node.js on the Microsoft stack
Dan Polivy - CellarTracker
Node.js on Windows, in production, may not be the most common configuration – but it’s immensely powerful with the help of edge.js, iisnode, and other open source projects. In fact, it’s a great tool for building highly performant, scalable front- and back-end websites on the Microsoft stack (IIS, .NET, SQL Server, etc.).
In this talk, I’ll share some details, tips-and-tricks, and experiences building a production website on Windows, using CellarTracker – the world’s largest collection of community wine reviews and tools for cellar management – as an example.
Dan is the Director of Engineering at CellarTracker, and has spent the past year building out a Node.js stack to power CellarTracker’s mobile website and apps. Prior to joining CellarTracker, he spent nearly 10 years working at Microsoft on Windows and Bing.
Edge.js and IISNode
Tomasz is the creator of edge.js and iisnode and will do a deep dive on working with .NET running in-process with Node.js and vice-versa with edge.js.
