This talk will contain an intro into cloud native development, using React (and Astro) & Google Cloud Platform. We’ll go deeper into what cloud native development means, how to build, deploy a serverless web application with Docker, Cloud Run or a static bucket. Other than React, Next or Astro, we’ll take a look at why and how to choose a JavaScript framework to build our web application. Why we probably don’t need a real standalone back-end, but replace the back-end code with serverless cloud functions. This talk starts with a high level overview with some live coding, so everyone can follow and understand the principles. No upfront knowledge required!
