I/O Extended 2024 Incheon Review
I/O Extended 2024 Incheon Developer Conference was held. It took place at "Songdo Convensia" with a total of 42 sessions from 13:00 to 19:00 on a large scale. First, I received a T-shirt along with check-in and was able to choose and take a sticker. Among the session areas of AI/ML, Web, Flutter, Server, Android, OpenSource, General, and ETC, I attended 5 sessions: 3 Web sessions and one each from OpenSource and ETC. It seemed to be prepared at a level that would help developer trainees or juniors, and since it was expected, I wasn't too disappointed. There were quite a few takeaways from the practical experiences and examples shared. [Web] Exploring Modern Web JavaScript Frameworks Together (Lim Seong-ho) ๐ I was relieved as many parts were familiar, thinking "I'm keeping up with the trends." ๐ฎ I hadn't paid attention to remix because of NextJS and React, but I became a bit interested upon learning about View Transition. ๐ฎ I only knew SolidJS existed, but I found it very similar to React, and it showed parts that offered even better DX, which was intriguing since it doesn't use Virtual DOM. ๐ฒ He shared a quote from Amazon's CTO during a speech, which was an impressive statement. (Details at the bottom) [Web] There's a Smart Component on the Other Side of the Sea (Kim Jin-seok) ๐
I was surprised as it unexpectedly dealt with .NET and Microsoft, but the speaker was witty, making the session fresh and fun. ๐ฒ He presented the concept of Smart Components in Introducing .NET Smart Components โ AI-powered UI controls, which might be difficult to implement in practice, but provided insight. [Web] Sharing E2E & API Test Automation Cases in Web Application Service (Shin Hye-yeon) ๐ฎ It was a good session as she detailed the examples used in practice and the problems encountered. I learned what to be careful about when adding tests to Lambda in the future. ๐ฅฒ I empathized with the reality that relying on human effort for final E2E tests is practical. [OpenSource] Creating a Culture of Open Source Contribution and Sharing Together - A Story of Helping 100 Developers to Create Over 100 Open Source PRs and Change the World (Kim In-je) ๐ฅฒ The main point that contributing to open source isn't difficult is known, but itโs not easy... [ETC] Monitoring Everything Happening in Applications Using Datadog (Yoon Chang-hyun) ๐คฉ Almost all monitoring seems possible, and it appears to have all the necessary business features like user funnel analysis, so I could integrate everything I was previously using like Sentry, Hotjar, and Amplitude into Datadog. ๐คฉ There are many features, and it doesn't feel lacking. In fact, many aspects seem even better. ๐ฅฒ It's hard to utilize the free version; due to costs, it would be difficult to apply to personal projects... โThereโs no compression algorithm for experienceโ - Dr. Werner Vogel
