This dense deep-dive level piece is a treat for the discerning JavaScript performance geek. Great insights into what the browser actually spends time on when loading and executing JavaScript and several clear, actionable observations.

For such a hot topic, decent insights from teams that actually implemented event sourcing are hard to come by - and the few you’ll come by are usually conference talks, not postmortem grade documentation. We’ve read through this one with great care, and nodding to ourselves - we’ve been there, we’ve done that, we hope to not make some of these mistakes again.

Nikita runs us through common problems integrating Vue, Vuex, jest and Nuxt with typescript and shows practical ways of avoiding the common pitfalls.
