Building a Realtime Backend in a Box with PostgreSQL and Vue

Explore the development of a realtime "backend in a box" solution using PostgreSQL and Vue in this conference talk. Discover how to create a powerful, document-based backend system that rivals the simplicity of Vue CLI or Nuxt while leveraging the reliability of PostgreSQL. Learn about the prototype called Velzy, which combines PostgreSQL, GraphQL, Node, socket.io, and Express to create a realtime, JSONB-powered backend. Gain insights into executing dynamic SQL within PostgreSQL, integrating with Vue's state manager VueX, and creatively utilizing GraphQL. Uncover the challenges and innovative solutions encountered during the development process, and see how this approach can simplify backend API creation for modern frontend applications.
