Hi everyone at #MCH2025! We're about to start with the last talk of the day: #BadgeHub! In this talk Francis, Edwin, and Aleksander will explain the Infra, Frameworks, Databases, Backend and Frontend for this new website where Apps for this amazing Badge can be shared. Please reply to this message if…

All about BadgeHub WHY2025
BadgeHub is a Badge Application Website that enables Badge Enthousiasts to share Badge Apps. In this talk, we first explain what BadgeHub is and what you can do with it. After that, we go into all the technical details and difficult decisions that went into building BadgeHub with PostgreSQL, Node.js and Vite. We will talk about Infra, Frameworks, Databases, Backend and Frontend.

Unikernels vs. Containers: A Runtime-Level Performance Comparison for Resource-Constrained Edge Workloads
The choice between containers and unikernels is a critical trade-off for edge applications, balancing the container's ecosystem maturity against unikernel's specialized efficiency. However, until now, how this trade-off behaves under the severe memory constraints of industrial edge environments remains insufficiently investigated, especially across different execution models. This work presents an empirical comparison using Go and Node.js applications, representing ahead-of-time (AOT) and just-…

NodeShield: Runtime Enforcement of Security-Enhanced SBOMs for Node.js
The software supply chain is an increasingly common attack vector for malicious actors. The Node.js ecosystem has been subject to a wide array of attacks, likely due to its size and prevalence. To counter such attacks, the research community and practitioners have proposed a range of static and dynamic mechanisms, including process- and language-level sandboxing, permission systems, and taint tracking. Drawing on valuable insight from these works, this paper studies a runtime protection mechani…

Today I learned that regular expressions have a size limit and you get a “regular expression too large” error if you go over it.
Still trying to find some definitive documentation on what that size limit is in v8/latest Node.js.

From OCL to JSX: declarative constraint modeling in modern SaaS tools
The rise of Node.js in 2010, followed by frameworks like Angular, React, and Vue.js, has accelerated the growth of low code development platforms. These platforms harness modern UIX paradigms, component-based architectures, and the SaaS model to enable non-experts to build software. The widespread adoption of single-page applications (SPAs), driven by these frameworks, has shaped low-code tools to deliver responsive, client side experiences. In parallel, many modeling platforms have moved to th…

Behind The Scenes of Bun Install
Learn how Bun is able to cut install times by up to 25×. Bun skips Node.js's overhead with direct system calls, cache-friendly data layouts, OS-level copy-on-write, and full-core parallelism.

this made me wonder why anyone would write a url parser for node.js in ada

XASDB - Design and Implementation of an Open-Access Spectral Database
The increasing volume and complexity of X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) data generated at synchrotron facilities worldwide require robust infrastructure for data management, sharing, and analysis. This paper introduces the XAS Database (XASDB), a comprehensive web-based platform developed and hosted by the Canadian Light Source (CLS). The database houses more than 1000 reference spectra spanning 40 elements and 324 chemical compounds. The platform employs a Node.js/MongoDB architecture desi…
