Just attended an interesting talk by @petermasking.bsky.social at #Basta. They built a tool (Jitar) that can let you develop as a monolith, and deploy in Kubernetes in production. I think it's JS only, interesting nonetheless.

Masking Technology Design System Example
Finally found the time to open-source and publish our design system, which we use for quickly building simple UIs.

A new "Getting Started with Jitar" video is out! ๐ฅณ
In this video, we show how to secure a full-stack application running on Jitar using its built-in security features and middleware.

"Now we have AI, do we still need to hire experienced developers?"
With modern tools everyone can "code". Within the right context, that's perfectly fine. Outside that context, it's a risk.

Just released the next "Getting started with Jitar" video ๐ฅณ
In this video, we show how to scale a full-stack application using nothing but configuration, thanks to Jitarโs services. Scaling your app has never been this simple.

Weโre turning our trainings into online courses! This video introduces our practical course on microservicesโcutting through the hype and confusion to show how they really work.

We've just released the getting started video of Jitar, explaining the installation and creating a scalable full-stack app from a template.
We've just released the introduction video of Jitar, explaining what it is and what value it brings.
We've finished the second iteration of our product video about Jitar. Have fun watching!

@petermasking.bsky.social and I are creating a new version of our #jitar introduction video.
It's fully generated from Google Slides with a few #python scripts that transforms the slides into an animation and add a voice-over using #ai
This is what we have so far...
Yesterday, @basmasking.bsky.social and I returned from the What The Stack Conference (@wts.rocks) in Skopje, carrying home great memories and new connections. ๐
The audience was full of energy, which made it a real pleasure to speak to them, even right after a fantastic lunch!
Today's animation:
"Jitar provides tools for cutting full-stack monolithic applications into distributable bundles based on configuration, and deploying them across web browsers and servers."
Continuing animation: zooming into the runtime to see inside.
Working on the introduction video of Jitar ๐
I love abstractions, but I also fear them. Good ones reduce complexity, while bad ones add it.
Telling them apart isnโt always easy, so avoidance is the widely accepted guideline.
Since I couldnโt find a practical, unified source, I decided to create one.

The fifth (and final) part of my article series "The Anatomy of a Distributed Runtime", is now available!
This part ties everything together and ties up all loose ends.

The fourth part of my article series, "The Anatomy of a Distributed Runtime," is now available!
In this part, I explain how the execution process discussed in the previous part is encapsulated by services that enable distribution.

Just created my first scale-when-needed full-stack app example with server-side rendering using @solidjs.com and Jitar.
Aside from the manual build steps (which I'll automate), this combination is very powerful!

The third part of my article series, "The Anatomy of a Distributed Runtime," has just been published!
In this part, I explain how the distributable bundles discussed in the previous part are loaded and executed.

๐คฉ Meet @petermasking.bsky.social
A software architect and full-stack developer with over 20 years of experience.
Peter helps companies build cost-efficient, future-proof applications. A frequent speaker at tech events across Europe, you can now catch him live in Skopje at What The Stack!
Today in the airport bus I shot this picture for @kevlin.bsky.social day. A few days late, but still worth it in my opinion.

As of now, the second part of my article series "The Anatomy of a Distributed Runtime" is also live!
In this part, I explain how we split monolithic applications into distributable bundles.

Working on Windows compatibility for our Jitar runtime. And after some work, the first results look promising!

I'm wrapping up a series of articles diving into the technical nitty-gritty of our distributed JavaScript runtime. The first part is now live!

Just finished the slides for my talk at the Tech Internals Conference on May 26th in Berlin!
Next month, I'll be speaking at the @javascriptcon.bsky.social in the beautiful city of London! ๐ฅณ
I couldn't be happierโthis is the conference for fullstack JavaScript development, making my talk, "๐๐ฒ๐ณ๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐น ๐จ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ ๐ฏ๐ ๐๐๐ถ๐น๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฟรถ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐ฒ๐ฟ'๐ ๐๐ฝ๐ฝ" a perfect fit.
Hope to see you there!
It's always fun to look at old commit messages ๐
Can you still remember what you were working on 10 years ago?

Last night I gave the first part of our "AI for Developers" workshop that includes a little vibe coding.
One of the attendees wasn't able to install anything, so he paired up with his neighbor. Not sure if I caught them at the right moment ๐
Wrapping up the second part of my article series, "The Anatomy of a Distributed Runtime" on how to build a distributable monolithโwith this pertinent quote from @simonbrown.je
Still in #AI mode... Just imported a simple neural network that @basmasking.bsky.social and I built in Java from scratch 11 YEARS AGO โ and it still works without a single modification! ๐คฏ
