   Node.js Performance, Kubernetes, and Why “Fast” Isn’t Always Fast - JSJ 702

   In this episode of JavaScript Jabber, I sat down with Matteo Collina—chair of the Node.js project and founder of Platformatic—for a deep, no-fluff conversation about Node.js performance in the real world. We dug into what actually happens when you run Node at scale, especially with server-side rendering, Kubernetes, and modern frameworks like Next.js. We also challenged some popular assumptions—like whether newer runtimes automatically mean better performance—and explored how benchmarking, flame graphs, and smarter scheduling can completely change the reliability of production systems. If you’re running Node in Kubernetes, doing SSR, or trying to squeeze more performance out of your backend, this episode will definitely make you rethink your stack.

   TanStack Start, AI, and the Future of Frontend Architecture - JSJ 701

   It’s great to be back behind the mic! In this episode of JavaScript Jabber, I’m joined by Dan Shapir and our guest Jack Harrington from Netlify and TanStack for a wide-ranging, high-energy conversation that covers everything from modern frontend architecture to AI tooling—and a few entertaining detours along the way. We dig into what’s new and exciting in the TanStack ecosystem, including TanStack Start and TanStack AI, and explore how these tools rethink the balance between frontend-first development and server-side capabilities. Along the way, we unpack React Server Components, AI SDKs, agentic workflows, and how developers can realistically use AI today without losing their minds—or their context windows.

Mongoose 9, AI-Powered Database Tools & the Future of Server-Side JavaScript with Val Karpov - JSJ 703

Published 25 Feb 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Yeah, we, I pretty much all of my software are developing view these days. I'm not so I'm not so working for a client as a strong front -end preference site. Cool. So what's new and exciting in Mungoos? Well, so Mungoos 9, I would most it's less about kind of like flashy features and more about producing long -term friction and specifically to TypeScript. I think one of the one of the major changes that we made was before we had it so that functions like find which is the general way that you execute a query to load some documents in Mungoos. On the TypeScript types there were very permissive and just why you pass in whatever you wanted. […]
