Seattle React.js at Qumulo

Qumulo will be hosting our meetup at their downtown location. We'll have some good food, drinks and a great lineup of speakers.

=== About our hosts ===

Qumulo builds a modern, highly scalable file storage system.

Who uses these huge scalable file storage systems?

Many of our customers are organizations that have huge data needs because data is part of their business. Movie studios require huge amounts of video and animation data to render their films. Scientific researchers have tons of experimental data to process. Autonomous driving systems need to train on thousands of hours of driving footage. All these users need petabyte-scale file systems and incredibly fast file access.

"Testing React components (and why it matters)" - Will Chen of Qumulo

Showcase some of the bad patterns we used, why they didn't work, what we are trying right now, and why things are working much better.

"Why I Chose to Modularize the Ducks in my React App" - Lauren Lee

React and Redux are awesome but the state management can be overwhelming for beginners. This talk is all about how to keep your code DRY, scalable, and maintainable- the dream trifecta!- regardless of its size and scope. Creating “ducks”, or modularized components, allows you to keep all of your state in one place and avoid creating a new file for every single action and reducer. This talk will cover how to create those ducks!

"Monitoring and Optimizing React Performance" - Tyler Walker
