Building modern apps requires a LOT of boilerplate backend code -- setting up server endpoints, forwarding requests to the database, and performing authentication are examples of code that developers have to write over and over again. In this talk you'll learn how to dramatically cut down development time by using prefabricated, open-source backends like deepstream.io and Horizon. We'll also talk about how prefabricated backends are changing application architectures, and the impact end-to-end event driven application development is making on end-user experience. We’ll also talk about how Horizon.io and RethinkDB provide a fantastic solution to these problems, and how I expect the future of web development to unfold. If we have time, we'll dig into some code using Horizon and see just how simple it is to build applications by starting with a prefab backend. PLEASE NOTE: This presentation was originally going to be given by Michael Glukhovsky, Founder of RethinkDB. Due to unforeseen, last-minute circumstances, Michael had to step out. Although Ryan Done counts himself a poor substitute for the Rethink founder, he has a lot of experience presenting on these technologies and is happy to help where he can.
