A Universal Hostless Substrate: Full Stack Web Apps Without a Backend, and More!
With Brooklyn Zelenka!
The last 60 years have seen the rise and fall of several models of computing: mainframes, private server, shared hosting, containers, and serverless (to name a few). We have one final phase left: “hostless” or universal apps. By leveraging technologies like secure multiparty compute, the content-addressable web, and the rise of Wasm, we are seeing the beginnings of a future liberated from specialized providers, acting on a distributed substrate of storage and compute. With all this in place, users fully control their own data (and it never touches your servers), deployment is as simple as setting a flag on your local environment, and developers maintain zero infrastructure. Come learn about what is being built today for the next wave of computing, how we evolve past the serverless paradigm, and how it can make life simpler for developers and end users!
Brooklyn is the cofounder and CTO of Fission. Her team is working hard on leveling the playing field for web devs by using new technologies and standards to eliminate the need for a backend and DevOps. She is also the founder of the Vancouver Functional Programming meetup, and mainly known for her work porting big chunks of the Haskell Prelude to Elixir (Witchcraft, Algae, Quark, and others). She previously participated in Ethereum standards as a core developer, where she worked on improving the VM design, contract composability, autonomous actors, and formal methods.
These days she's socially distancing in beautiful, rainy Vancouver, Canada.
