Abstract
From installations to promote superstar DJs on trains speeding across Europe to sitting in Motorway LED billboards debugging wi-fi cards when the temperature drops below zero, our experience building for the IoT has highlighted just how unpredictable failure can be. This talk is a warts and all look into our work with some of the world's best known brands using JavaScript to power remote installations and interactive applications.
We'll cover the technology used (serverless platforms, node.js microservices and JavaScript), how we built the solutions and how we coped with some of the most random failure circumstance you probably couldn't imagine!
