Writing better Node.js apps by using built-in APIs instead of libraries

Abstract

Node.js has evolved faster in the last four years than in the decade before it. The platform now includes modern Web-native APIs likd Fetch, Web Streams, Web Crypto, URLPattern, AbortSignals, the built-in Test Runner, and more, making many popular npm libraries unnecessary.
In this talk, we explore how these built-ins let you write faster, smaller, and more secure applications while reducing your dependency footprint.
You’ll learn what you can remove from your stack today, how to migrate old code, and why fewer dependencies means less attack surface, simpler architecture, and improved performance.
Stop reinstalling what Node.js already provides and start writing better apps with the platform itself.
