In a web app, the enemy of performance isn't bad algorithms — it's bloat. From loading the least data and JavaScript to re-rendering the fewest components in response to changes in state, the most performant apps are the one that do the least. But it's often hard to maintain a small bundle while iterating on features.

Enter Isograph, the framework for building data-driven React apps. It leverages a compiler to provide great DevEx and performance, right out of the box.

In this talk, find out how Isograph lets you:

• load component JavaScript and data only when needed, for example when the user is about to scroll to them
• load components (such as a VideoViewer) only if an item of that type (a Video) is returned from the server, and
• defer loading parts of your component tree, without server support.

And the cherry on top? We're doing it all in userland. 😎

But wait, there's more! We'll also show how Isograph re-renders the absolute minimum of components and garbage collects data that's no longer needed, allowing your app to stay consistently performant. So let's prove the old adage: less is more performant.

Rust's ecosystem is known for its speed, efficiency, and type-safety. In this hands-on workshop we'll start by setting up a high-performance GraphQL server, all the way to a WASM-powered frontend client. We'll see how the various components interact seamlessly, and understand how Rust provides an edge with its efficiency. We'll add an exciting twist - a face-off between our Rust full-stack app and a traditional JS app, using compelling benchmarks, to see if the juice is worth the squeeze.
