The Frontend is changing fast (Mobile First !)

And it isn’t even begun yet !

APIs are powering this change

App Server

Database Datacube

API Server

HTML JSON

OK…But how do I cross the legacy bridge ?

Distinctly unique Approaches to solve the same problem

Let’s just RESTify our

current SOA to solve this

What backend is being used for APIs ?

Node is FAST

Node is perfect for APIs

Node powers full-stack JS

…and highly concurrent!

Look IoT…Threads

Don’t Wait !

But what exactly is full stack

Full Stack JavaScript is powering mobility

AngularBootstrap

Ionic

Cordova

A Compelling Option for Enterprise Mobility Faster time to market vs. 100% native

development Reuse skills of existing web developer staff Open Source stack / no vendor lock-in For Enterprise apps, performance is comparable

to native apps Near “write once, run anywhere” UI: tablets,

phones, smart TVs, smart watches, cars, etc.

Gartner predicts by 2016 more than 50% of the apps deployed will be

Hybrid apps.

But is the backend really being written in JS ?

• Node.js active contributors (>65K)• Very large and active developer community• Growing / most modules (100K > Java, Ruby, PHP…)

The emergence of the API economy

So some developers wrote an Open source API server
