Brian Buchta Articles, JavaScript, TypeScript Leave a Comment

Software development is an ever-evolving space where languages, tools, and best practices can rapidly change based on the market. Yet there is always a race to do things faster and better than before.

Today, I will be introducing you to Turborepo, a tool that helps manage JavaScript and TypeScript monorepos by leveraging build techniques to avoid duplicate work and maximize multitasking at scale. But first, there may be a couple of questions you’re asking yourself. What is a monorepo, and why use Turborepo?

This year, the client I work with has started exploring the offerings in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) after investing years into the Microsoft Azure cloud. The opportunity has allowed me to explore a few new technologies that this post will cover and that you will hopefully find interesting.

In short, I was tasked with transforming Pub/Sub to Firestore Database in GCP. The scenario explored in this post takes an FHIR healthcare data feed, extracts telephone and email information, and then stores that in a Firestore database.

Recently, Iโ€™ve worked on automating some internal processes for building and releasing Flutter applications. Part of this effort included utilizing Fastlane with a Continuous Integration/Delivery platform to build and deploy the app. This blog post will outline the process I followed to run the build on CircleCI after I had configured Fastlane to build and deploy the application from my local machine.

Jamstack: Azure Serverless Functions App With React

Jamstack: Azure Serverless Function App With React

A new trend of creating applications is emerging called Jamstack. No, this isnโ€™t slapping together your favorite flavor of jelly (grape is the best) with peanut butter and two pieces of bread. The intent is an architecture that is faster, more secure, and easier to scale. It focuses on pre-rending and decoupling. This way, the solutions created are more reliable and resilient than before.

Pre-rendering comes by the way of using a static website via a CDN for high availability and security. No more serving your React app via web server like weโ€™ve become accustomed to. It reduces cost and complexity by eliminating the regular maintenance and configuration of traditional servers.

Also, the idea of APIs and the ability to move them to things like Serverless functions creates more cost savings, elimination of traditional servers, and use of features only when they are requested. For more information, check out the Serverless website.
