Summit Topic: Streams (Node.js)

[Fishrock123]

Topic of the session
Streams

Type of the session

• Collaborate
• Workshop
• Talk

Follow-up / Set-up sessions (if any)
unknown

The QUIC session should come before this as it may set up issues to be discussed here.

Level

• Advanced

Pre-requisite knowledge
It would be helpful for people to know about any of the following:

• Streams (object, transform, etc)
• http 1/2/3/quic
• sockets in general
• streaming apis (including from other languages)
• libuv
• If you have ever used streams before and encountered difficulty

Describe the session
TBD. Likely introduced with some slide deck about "BOB" Streams, again.

Possible split between BOB / Future Streams and existing streams problems.

Possibly taking up more than one session if there is enough Streams 1/2/3 stuff to discuss.

Session facilitator(s) and Github handle(s)

• @Fishrock123 - me, if I am present (likely but tbd).
• @jasnell

Additional context (optional)

• See this repo: https://github.com/Fishrock123/bob
• See past collab summit sessions: Summit Topic: Bob Streams #172, Summit Topic: Streams #110

Oh and in case anyone is for some reason confused, this is not about streams on the web, only Node.js.

[mcollina]

Count me in as well. We would probably need more than 1 slot for this.

@Fishrock123 @mcollina @jasnell
How long would you like for this session?

[mcollina]

I would like to discuss about async iterators and promises in the context of streams. I think 30-45 minutes would be enough.

[evahowe]

@mcollina ok, putting you down for an hour to make the scheduling a bit easier. Would yours be a separate session from @Fishrock123 and @jasnell ?

[evahowe]

ok, made a separate session for @mcollina

@Fishrock123 and @jasnell - how much time do you want for your session? and will @mcollina be part of that one too?

[Fishrock123]

Please don't overlap these. @mcollina's should probably happen first.

For the "Future Streams" / "BOB" initiative, I think 1hr would be best, roughly broken down:

• Refresher presentation (15m)
• Api convention enforcement
• Discuss managed state
• Discuss parallelism
• Discuss Streams3 integration

extra: discuss native-layer stuff

[evahowe]

@Fishrock123 I have made notes of all of that and updated your description.

[WaleedAshraf]

@mcollina for "async iterators and promises in the context of streams" can you open an issue for it? So it can be linked to the agenda.

[mcollina]

@WaleedAshraf done: #216

[trivikr]

Any updates to this topic from QUIC-in-depth session in #185?

[Fishrock123]

Not particularly.
