Pro Zurich JS Meetup #8: Flare up your Performance

Serverless architectures offer scalability and cost benefits, but managing application state remains challenging. What if you could spin up a tiny server for every user with the same cost and scalability benefits? A server for every user, in a serverless architecture sounds new, right?
In this talk, I’ll introduce you to Durable Objects and help you understand the new paradigm of building stateful serverless apps. You will learn about the various benefits like low latency, faster database operations, and handling states for your serverless app.

Expanding globally doesn’t just mean translating your product. Payments are where growth ambitions meet hard reality. At Smallpdf, we discovered this first-hand while serving millions of users across markets with very different expectations.

In this talk, I’ll walk through the real lessons we learned about payment localization: why adding Alipay was a no-brainer, how currencies and billing defaults shape conversion, and what happens when you try to roll out localized pricing. I’ll also share our experience migrating from Braintree to Stripe, and how payment orchestration became a necessity, not a nice-to-have.

True story: I was building an AI agent for Hacker News and realized I needed a way for people to sign up for updates. One coffee break later, I had a complete serverless newsletter registration platform that would allow me to send automated emails.

Join me as I guide you in twenty minutes to create an infrastructure that would be applicable to many use-cases to get information, save them and use that to automate tasks by using AWS' JS SDK.
