LNUG is run and organised by London developers. Our commitment is to represent London's diverse community, to welcome the wider global node.js community to our busy city, and to provide a platform for node.js developers - local rising stars, newbies and experts alike - to share their expertise, to network, and spark new ideas and opportunities.

Next meetup...

11 months of no LNUG??! This needs to be fixed!

Turning Chaos into Control with Cloudflare on Our Hybrid Node.js Stack

John Adib
@mradib

This is our real-world story of running Node.js across GCP Cloud Functions, Cloud Run, and Kubernetes — and the chaos that came with it. Multiple entry points, inconsistent security, and a wide attack surface made things messy.

In just 20 minutes, I’ll share the long journey of putting it all behind Cloudflare’s edge with Zero Trust, WAF, load balancing, GCP Cloud Armor, and image optimization. You’ll hear lessons, pitfalls, and practical takeaways from securing a complex Node.js platform at scale for one of the biggest e-commerce businesses in London.

Senior Lead Software Engineer with 16+ years experience building large-scale platforms and leading multi-million-dollar projects. Co-founder of multiple startups, open-source contributor, and UK Global Talent Visa holder. Named #1 Mentor in Europe by ADPList, passionate about scaling and securing Node.js platforms.

Building MCP servers with Node.js

Mike Borozdin

MCP (Model Context Protocol) helps to feed more data to an LLM. For example, it can make an LLM search through your Google Drive. It does not stop at reading data, you can even instruct an LLM to create a ticket in your project management system. But why stop there? You can also use MCP to connect to a Phillips Hue light and let an LLM control the colour of the light in your room while you’re talking to it.

In this talk we’re going to wrap up the sleeves and build our very own MCP server with Node.js. So expect a lot of live coding!

I have just woken from a deep, long sleep. What have I missed in the world of node.js?

11 months, no LNUG. What have we been doing with all this time? How have you filled the 4th Wednesday of every month?

This lightning talk will be a quick, and at times irreverent tour of what's happened in the node.js universe and beyond since last October. A chance for me to catch up. Educate me. We will review and (dis)agree on what is good and bad with new released features and innovations in the ecosystem, and we will squint toward the future. We'll open the floor to suggestions and ad hoc votes, and I guess we'll probably split the audience down the middle between the cheerleaders and the naysayers on the new landscape of agentic workflows that will make us either superhuman or subject us to robotic serfdom.

Is node.js still fun anymore?

It's great to be back - I'm looking forward to seeing you again.

about me

By day I am a Technical Lead at Nearform where I view node.js development through binoculars and help guide my team with a megaphone from my vantage point on the hill.
By night I am @admataz, one of the LNUG organisers responsible for this delay to our meetup programme, among other things.
