About this talk
This talk explores how Vue can extend its capabilities beyond user interfaces by utilizing its reactivity system on the backend. The speaker demonstrates a playful and interactive demo that transforms a simple concept into a real-time experience, showcasing how Vue can coordinate backend logic seamlessly. Key topics include leveraging Vue's reactivity to serve as a single source of truth for multiple clients, using Server-Sent Events and WebSockets for live updates, and employing computed projections for consistent, per-user instructions. The session emphasizes that reactive thinking enhances understanding of side effects, scheduling, and cleanup concerns in backend applications.
