Title of your topic:
Migrating from Ruby on Rails to a JavaScript SPA.

Topic description:
At Viki, it's been a year since we starting migrating from our old RoR application to Next.js . It's a gargantuan task to move a codebase that is 7 - 8 years old, and we're still in the midst of doing that. In this sharing, we would share the pointers on how we started this entire journey (frontend, backend, DevOps), and what we might have done right or wrong.

Title of your topic:
React-ing faster: How to optimize your components for performance?

Topic description
React is fast by design. But what happens when it does get slow? How do you write components to extract every inch of performance? In this talk, we will walkthrough the process of diagnosing and optimizing a chat application, to enable it to handle hundreds of messages without lagging. We will first try Dev Tools to identify performance bottlenecks, then catch a glimpse of React's rendering process and finally use optimization strategies to make React even faster and more efficient.
